Ways to Give

Donating is about more than just giving 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.

When you include the YMCA in your estate plan, your generosity brings about meaningful change. This past year has proven that we need to remain strong and continuously able to adapt to changing circumstances for decades to come, and strengthening the Y’s endowment funds is critical to that success.
