We are living through a time like no other, but here in the Foothills community, our dedication to serve our neighbors through our impactful outreach, programs, and services continued full force. Together, here’s what we’ve accomplished this year thanks to the charitable support of our community.

WHAT WE DO FOR THE COMMUNITY
Onsite our focus is to provide you, our member, with a Your Y Your Way experience. Anytime, anywhere your Y is with you. From virtual to streaming to outdoor/indoor classes, financial aid and scholarships, free programming, updated equipment and facilities, and community partnerships – we at the Y have continued adapting to our ever-changing environment. And as the pandemic evolves, so will we.
Offsite, we strive to give you and everyone access to the benefits that our local, key partnerships provide such as Doc Talks on topical health issues from USC Verdugo Hills Hospital and Food Drives that have served over 10,000 families over the pandemic in collaboration with Glendale Community College. We have also partnered with the American Red Cross and Huntington Hospital to host continuous blood drives. We care about improving our members health and wellbeing as well as giving back and supporting our neighbors. But this only comes together with your contribution. |
For over 60 years, each and every donation has shaped a life - join the cause and together, let’s continue making a long-lasting impact that not only survives, but thrives.

MAJOR DONOR PROGRAM
BECOME A MAJOR DONOR
At the Y, we recognize those donors who have advanced their support of youth and family programs by making annual contributions to the Y of $1,200 or more. These individuals, businesses and other community organizations enable us to enrich and expand our mission and meet human service needs throughout our community. Their support makes it possible for families and individuals, regardless of their ability to pay, to participate in the programs and services that we offer through the Y. These programs instill our core values – Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility - and help guide our members to a lifetime of success and service.
Our ongoing mission is to engage potential and historical major donors in meaningful invitations that are donor-centric. We celebrate our major donors with a special event in November. Give Every Month (GEM) at $100/month to become a major donor.

CARES ACT
The CARES Act makes a new charitable deduction available to individual taxpayers that do not itemize their deductions. This new benefit, also referred to as a universal deduction, allows for a charitable deduction of up to $300 per individual. This is an above-the-line contribution that is deducted from the individual taxpayer’s income prior to the calculation of their adjusted gross income. This is the one charitable giving benefit that will extend beyond the 2020 tax year.
In addition to the new universal deduction, for 2020, the Act provides incentives for both individuals and corporations by increasing the available deductions on qualified charitable contributions to:
What conditions need to be met to qualify for the enhanced tax benefits? To trigger these new benefits, both individual and corporate taxpayers have to make a qualified charitable contribution. The increased limits are applicable only to cash donations. Contributions of any kind of property, including marketable securities, real assets or otherwise, do not qualify. To qualify, the cash contributions have to be made, with a few exceptions, to a public charity.
