Annual Giving Campaign
The Annual Giving Campaign ensures that everyone has equal access to the resources and tools they need to thrive. Through pledged and donated funds, we are able to provide local children and families access to life changing, confidence building, and just all around fun Y programs. Every gift, no matter how small, provides countless opportunities for people to thrive.
Join us in making an impact
The campaign is about more than just raising money. It is about the life changing impact that the YMCA provides by opening doors to those in need. The child who gains confidence through learning opportunities, the active older adult who is no longer isolated and is living a healthy and active lifestyle, a family given opportunities to spend quality time together and so many more. The stories of those who are impacted by the Y have the power to unite and inspire.
A bequest or beneficiary designation for the YMCA in your will, trust, retirement plan or life insurance policy is a gift that keeps on giving, year after year. A planned gift is a way to support the mission and programs that you believe in long after your lifetime. Together, we can strengthen our community for generations.
It is important to remember that donor advised fund gifts have some restrictions. Please consult your financial or tax advisor.
