“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
– Pericles
At YSM, we remain focused on serving the Toronto community while also working to secure and advance our programs and their impact for the decades ahead. Legacy gifts, especially bequests made in our kind donors’ Wills, are a key way for us to do so, together.
By leaving a gift in your Will to The Grace and Goodness Trust – a permanent endowment created in honour of our former long-serving CEO, Rick Tobias – you are invited to become a member of Legacy Bridge Builders, our recognition society for YSM’s forward-thinking donors who support us with a legacy gift.
Should you choose to support us via your legacy plans, your generosity will help YSM continue to change lives, build communities and transform Toronto by providing us with stable funding to allow us to plan for the future while also supporting our priority ongoing annual needs.
