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.

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.
