39,000 donors gave $22.6 million to the YMCA

As a charity, the YMCA has long been dedicated to promoting the health of our communities by fostering the health of every Canadian. To realize this goal, we rely on the generous support of donors like you, who share our commitment to assisting children, youth, families and newcomers from coast-to-coast.

Help the YMCA Build Strong Kids

The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign is focused on raising much needed financial support for children, teens and families who are unable to afford the full cost of participation in a YMCA program or activity. The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign helps one person at a time, one family at a time, or one program at a time. That might mean providing the funds to help:

  • A child attend day camp for the first time
  • A struggling teen find employment
  • A child to participate in a recreation or fitness activity
  • A struggling family to use a child care facility
  • Individuals gain the confidence and skills to avoid addiction, violence and isolation

Each YMCA association offers unique programs to serve the needs of their community; each community has children teens, and families that need your help.

We encourage you to invest in a child today. No Risks. Only Returns. To do so visit, YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. Your donation of money, securities, insurance or a bequest will ensure future generations of children and youth benefit from a shared legacy of caring.

Support your Local YMCA

As centres of community, YMCAs raise money to renovate existing facilities and build new ones. They also fundraise to support overseas YMCA partners whose focus is on youth engagement, youth leadership and expanding their capacity to deliver more sustainable long term programs that address the most critical common needs.

Please visit your local YMCA Web site to make a donation to their current cause.
