Every child deserves an active summer full of caring role models, but not every family can afford to send their children to camp.

SCHOLARSHIPS

The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas scholarships provide financial assistance to deserving individuals, enabling them to access educational opportunities and pursue their academic goals.


ABOUT YMCA DAY OF GIVING

YMCA Day of Giving began in the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina in 2015 as a one-day, all-hands-on-deck, hyper-focused campaign effort that engaged staff at all levels, committed volunteers and acted as a final push for branches toward their Annual Campaign goals.

By 2018, YMCA Day of Giving spread to Texas at the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. In 2019, the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth and the Arlington-Mansfield Area YMCA joined the initiative to make it a DFW metroplex-wide campaign. 2020 marked the launch of a nationwide partnership with almost 30 YMCA Associations celebrating this one-day giving effort.  Whether in local communities or across the country, the Y recognizes that it is more robust when people work together. Since its inception, YMCA Day of Giving has raised over $3 MILLION in charitable gifts to support local communities nationwide.
