Impact of Contribution

Strong Kids Scholarships
The YMCA believes in providing membership and program services to all who desire to participate. The philosophy of the YMCA is to not turn anyone away due to inability to pay. Strong Kids scholarships benefit more than just kids. Strong Kids scholarships change lives for families, seniors and children in our community. Donations to Strong Kids will make participation at the YMCA possible for many people. Scholarships can teach a child to be safe in the water through swim lessons; provide quality before-and-after school care for a young child; provide full-time child care for needy families; build self-confidence and provide valuable training for youth in our community through our Youth & Government program, and instill a sense of community value, trust, teamwork, leadership and independence at Resident Camp Nan A Bo Sho.

• 7,743 individuals have benefited from Strong Kids Scholarships at the YMCA in 2009.
• A total of $1,149,431 in Strong Kids Scholarships was awarded at the YMCA in 2009.
• 1 in 5 YMCA members are Strong Kids Scholarship recipients.

Heritage Club
Endowment gifts help make our community a safe and healthy place for children, families, teens and seniors to live. Gifts touch lives and create a promise for generations to come. That promise builds a legacy to help preserve the mission of the YMCA.

The Heritage Club is composed of individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life who have made outright or planned gifts to the YMCA’s endowment fund in one of the following ways: Gifts of Cash, Appreciated Assets, Life Insurance, Gifts through a Will, or Gift through a Trust or Annuity.

Capital Developmental
The YMCA, through contributions to its Capital Campaign, was able to fulfill its mission of facility expansions and renovations. Over $8.4 million was contributed to remodel current facilities, build additions and introduce innovative new programs, which helped us build the foundation for personal success for new generations and strengthen every aspect of our community.
