At the YMCA of Greater Seattle, we believe strong communities are built on connection, compassion, and consistent support. That’s why we created The Neighborhood—a special group of monthly donors committed to making a lasting impact, one month at a time. Here’s why your monthly support is so powerful:
1. It's Sustainable
Monthly gifts provide a reliable source of funding, allowing us to plan ahead and quickly respond to community needs. Your dollar also goes further by reducing administrative costs, helping us do even more.
2. It's Impactful
Even modest monthly donations add up to big change over time. Your ongoing support helps fund scholarships, youth programs, food security efforts, and more.
3. It's Personal
As a member of The Neighborhood, you’ll receive exclusive updates, stories of impact, and invitations to special events—so you can see the difference you’re making.
4. It’s Easy
Set it and forget it. Your monthly gift is automatic, secure, and flexible—you can change or cancel at any time.
What Is The Neighborhood?
The Neighborhood is more than just a giving program—it’s a community of changemakers like you, who believe in equity, opportunity, and belonging for all. By giving monthly, you’re helping the Y provide critical programs and services that support youth, families, and individuals across our region.
