Your Gift Changes Live
At the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, we believe that everyone deserves access to YMCA programs and services. Your gift helps ensure that no one is turned away due to financial circumstances. Imagine what our community would look like if every child had a safe place to play, every parent had the support they needed, and every person felt like they belonged.
MAKE A DONATION MAKE A PLEDGEWhat your Gift Makes Possible
The YMCA’s Safety Around Water program can helps ensure kids learn essential water safety skills, which can open up a world of possibilities for them to satisfy their curiosity safely.
Your gift provides:
- Free or reduced-cost swim lessons for children in need
- Water safety education for families
- Certified instructors and safe aquatic environments
- Because of donor support, kids in our community gain lifesaving skills — not just swimming ability, but the confidence to jump in and try new things.
The Y is more than a gym, it’s a community committed to lifelong health. Our Healthy Lifestyles programs support individuals and families as they build strength, improve wellness, and prevent chronic disease.
Your gift helps provide:
- Financial assistance for memberships
- Programs for seniors to stay active and connected
- Chronic disease prevention programs like Livestrong, our 12-week cancer survivor program
With your support, health becomes accessible and a possibility for everyone.
Mental wellness is just as important as physical health. The YMCA creates safe, supportive spaces where individuals can grow emotionally, build resilience, and connect with others.
Your gift supports:
Youth development programs that build confidence and leadership
Supportive mentoring environments
Staff training focused on social-emotional growth
Community-building programs that reduce isolation
Because when people feel seen, supported, and connected, entire communities grow stronger.

Every year, thousands of individuals rely on scholarships to access life-changing YMCA programs.
From early learning to teen leadership, the YMCA helps young people discover who they are and what they can achieve.

- After-school programs
- Summer camps
- Leadership development in our Youth & Government program
We’re not just caring for kids, we’re preparing tomorrow’s leaders.
