For more than 100 years, in the north Seattle community, the YMCA has earned its reputation for innovation and effectiveness in a diverse range of programs that bring out the best in people.  The support of generous donors helps guarantee that this commitment will continue for generations to come.

Contributions to the YMCA Partners With Youth Campaign support positive, values-based programs for children and families. Your donation stays in our community, with 95 cents of every dollar going to life-enhancing programs and financial assistance.

Gifts to the YMCA's Endowment Fund provide a stable, enduring source of funding that protects the YMCA's ability to positively influence the community for generations to come.  Endowed funds are held in perpetuity according to donors' wishes and wisely invested. A portion of the interest earnings is used as designated for program support, college scholarships, financial assistance for low-income participants, facility maintenance, international initiatives and general YMCA support. 

For more information, please see our Partners With Youth Brochure & Case Statement.
