The Y: Not A Place, A Purpose
You have probably visited a YMCA or dropped off your son or daughter for soccer practice. You probably know someone who learned to swim at the Y...
But, did you know the YMCA is a nonprofit? We are! The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization, dedicated to making our programs accessible for all. Therefore, financial assistance is available for almost every program we offer, and each year, donors, partner organizations, foundations, and volunteers give their time and financial support to help make this important work possible.
There are many ways to give to your Y. We invite you to become part of this mission that can change lives, with your help.
Annual Campaign
The YMCA Annual Campaign brings the community, businesses, foundations, Y volunteers and staff together to fundraise nearly $5M annually in order to provide free outreach programming and financial assistance to those in need through for programs like:
- Safety Around Water Drowning Prevention
- Healthy Lifestyles Programs
- Childcare, Sports, Swim, Camp, Gym Membership, and more
- Mental Wellness Initiatives
- Food and Essentials Distribution
YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas Foundation
Since 1995 the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas Foundation has helped support the mission of the Dallas YMCA through generous individuals and families who have recognized the ability to impact the lives of so many through a gift to the Dallas YMCA Foundation. There are many ways to be a part of the Foundation and ensure your legacy.
Other Giving Opportunities
Matching gifts: An employer match is an easy way to increase the impact of your gift.
Donate stock: Individuals, corporations, and foundations can donate appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual fund shares that have been owned for more than one year. Donors can avoid capital gains tax and also receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gift.
Corporate Partners and Sponsors
Through annual event and program sponsorship opportunities, the Y can help further your philanthropic work as an organization. When your business makes a gift to support, you are helping enrich the lives of youth, adults, and seniors in our community.
What Our Community Says
When going through my divorce and transitioning to one income, the Y stepped in with a scholarship for my son to play baseball. With support like that, everything feels a little bit easier.
— Mayla, YMCA Parent
Because of (the Y) I found my blood pressure was in the danger zone. I had my medication modified...my outcome could have been very different. Thank you, YMCA staff for caring.
— Shirley, Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program
