Support Your Y

We believe the YMCA is uniquely suited to meet our community’s needs and we continue to prove it every day through the reinvention of the organization in an effort to better serve the area’s ever-changing social landscape.

Ready to make an impact?

Our Y gives our communities the support they need to thrive. Your gift helps the Y deliver lasting personal and social change. With your gift, you share in a mission to strengthen the community, every single day! Learn more below about all the ways you can support to our Y.

Annual Support Campaign

Support our financial assistance program to ensure all community members have access to the vital programs and services our Y has to offer.  By making a financial gift to our Strong Y, Strong Community Annual Support campaign you ensure we never have to turn a community member away, for the inability to pay. 

Community Support Events

Strengthening the community is at the core of everything we do. All funds raised at our events ensure that we can continue to be a vital resource for those who need us most. Please take a look at our upcoming events below including Golf Tournaments, Galas, Road Races, and more! 

Capital Campaigns

It takes vision and imagination to meet our community’s needs. That vision sometimes takes the shape of facility expansions, major building improvements, and even bringing new Y’s to under-served communities.  Each capital project furthers the Y’s mission by addressing the unique needs of our communities. 

Wanderlust Ball

The Wanderlust Ball is the YMCA of the North Shore’s signature fundraising event, an annual gala where we come together to celebrate our community and to raise funds to ensure that people have access to the essential services and programs provided by our Y.

Planned Giving

If you are passionate about the work we do and you want to change lives by ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, income, or background—has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, then putting the Y into your estate plans is a simple way to secure the future strength of our community. 

How to Make a Gift

You can make a pledge or payment via credit card and you can choose from flexible payment schedules that work for you (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually).  You can also pay by check, cash, securities transfer, wire transfer, life income gift, charitable lead trust, bequest and gifts of retirement plans.

Thank you for your support

Thanks to generous donors, we are able to fulfill our mission by providing financial assistance, programs and services for our most vulnerable community members. Your donation supports our Y and programs serving children and families in our community.

These programs, and your support are vital to our community’s success. By working together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure meaningful change that strengthens our community.
