Season of Giving

This Season of Giving, help ensure everyone has a place to belong.

At the Family YMCA of Greater Augusta, every gift is a doorway to opportunity. Your support creates safe places, joyful moments and a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone can thrive. The Y is more than a gym. We’re a nonprofit, rooted in faith and guided by the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Together, we’re building a place where all people,  regardless of age, background or income, can belong.

Our 2025 Impact

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

No one is ever turned away from the YMCA for their inability to pay. Every year, we provide at least $2,000,000 in financial assistance for programs and membership. We put no limit on the number of scholarships we provide.

A PLACE TO DREAM

Through our A Place to Dream bed program, we provide families in need with beds, bedding, stuffed animals and Bibles. The amount of beds we are able to provide is directly tied to donations and volunteers.

CHERYL'S KITCHEN

Our summer food program provides year-round assistance to families facing food insecurity. Since March 2020, we have distributed 3.6 million meals through our YMCA facilities and Y On The Fly program.

SAFETY AROUND WATER

Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children 1-14 years old, and that's why the Y is committed to teaching children life-saving water safety skills through Safety Around Water and swim lessons.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY

Through a gift to the YMCA’s Annual Campaign, you can teach a child to swim, prevent summer learning loss and provide cancer survivors with a supportive community. 100% of your gift goes to support children, adults and communities in need. We hope that you will consider supporting the YMCA in your end-of-year giving plans.
