General Information
The YMCA of Silicon Valley is a charitable not-for-profit organization committed to strengthening and enriching the development of individuals and families through quality programs and services that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Our YMCA (like all local YMCAs) does not receive operating funds from the YMCA of the USA and can only provide financial assistance and program subsidy to individuals in need through the generosity of caring individuals like you.
 Stock Gifts
Donations of stock or appreciated securities can provide tax advantages to the donor and be a sizeable contribution to the YMCA. When you transfer securities directly to the YMCA, your tax deduction is the value of the shares the day they are transferred.
If you would like to make a gift of stock to the YMCA, pleasedownload and complete our stock transfer form and submit it to our Association Office via email, fax or mail. This form ensures that your gift will be credited to the appropriate YMCA branch and campaign. It also may be used to supply your stock broker with the YMCA’s gift receipt account information.
Matching Gifts
Your contribution to the YMCA of Silicon Valley can go twice as far! Did you know that hundreds of local companies match their employees' charitable contributions? When making a gift to the YMCA, check with your employer's Human Resources Department to determine if your company will match your donation.

Tax Benefits of Giving
Making a gift to the YMCA can help you lower your tax bill. A 100% federal tax deduction is available for each charitable contribution a donor makes to the YMCA. Deductions can be up to 50% of personal income for cash gifts and 30% of personal income for appreciated property at 100% fair market value. Additionally, if you donate appreciated securities, you'll avoid paying capital gains taxes.
