YOUR SUPPORT GIVES EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY A CHANCE TO THRIVE.
SUPPORT THE Y, STRENGTHEN YOUR COMMUNITY
The Y's cause is to strengthen communities. For many youth and families, the Y is the community center where new friendships are made and old friends swap stories. Children see neighbors as role models and grandparents gather for cards, coffee and conversation.
Keith and Buck come to the Y because that's where they found a new family. Sometimes small communities need big hearts, like the Y has, to embrace everyone. The Y is a diverse organization that joins people together.
THE Y IS FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
All kids deserve a chance to discover who they are and what they can achieve.
As a single dad with special needs sons, Eric faces more challenges than most parents. Not one, but two of his sons have special needs. The Y made a difference this summer.
THE Y IS FOR HEALTHY LIVING
You can improve the nation's health and well-being by starting in your community. The Y brings families closer together, supports fitness and fut, and provides opportunities to manage chronic diseases in a supportive environment.
As she walked out of the doctor's office in tears, Makita knew she needed help to save her life; her weight was an impending death sentence. The Y provided support for Makita to make a change.
THE Y IS FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
When you support the Y, you help neighbors in need. Join us in promoting youth development and fostering healthy living in your neighborhood. Each of these areas has a long-range impact for all of us and ensures Y programs and services are open to all.
Alan is busy with his profession and family; he knows that giving back is a value that endures. For seven years, Alan has helped strengthen his community by volunteering with the Y and raising funds to help children facing hardships. The Y offers opportunities for giving that foster communities coming together.
Strong communities
The Strong Communities campaign makes Y programs affordable and accessible to all and allows us to open our doors and our hearts to those in need. Families who cannot afford the full price of programs and child care can receive financial assistance scholarships. Membership and program fees are not used for this purpose. Instead, we rely on charitable contributions from friends like you. More than $2.2 million in scholarships are awarded annually to help families afford child care, sports programs, swim lessons, art programs and membership to the YMCA.
Today's Y is a force of hope, but, we always run out of money before we run out of kids. Can you help? Our future depends on the strength of our children. Your commitment to the Strong Communities campaign will keep Peninsula kids growing stronger and stronger. We can create a more promising future for ourselves and for generations to come.
Together, we can give every child a place to go and a chance to grow.

An outright gift of cash - In this way, donors not only benefit from the good that will be done but current income tax savings.
An outright gift of appreciated assets - If you chose to contribute such items as stock or property owned for longer than one year, you would receive a charitable deduction equal to the current value of the assets while avoiding capital gains taxes.
A life insurance gift - Naming the YMCA as a primary or even secondary beneficiary of your insurance policy paves the way for a large future gift. Should you wish to contribute a life insurance policy that is no longer needed to protect current beneficiaries, you could realize substantial income tax deductions.
A gift through your will - You may wish to consider including the YMCA in your will or living trust. In this way, a fixed amount, specific asset or percentage of your estate may be set aside as bequests and qualify for estate deductions.
A gift made through a charitable trust or annuity - Creating a charitable trust or annuity provides life income for yourself and/or others. With all or a portion of your gift eventually directed to the YMCA, you could receive a charitable deduction.
Nicole White Memorial Scholarship Fund
