  • 113 group exercise classes weekly, including senior and aquatics classes

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) Charitable Rollovers
Make a lasting impact by giving through your IRA. If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $100,000 annually directly from your IRA to the YMCA. This contribution counts toward your required minimum distribution and is tax-free. Simply complete the IRA Charitable Rollover form, and drop it off, mail it, or email it to your YMCA.

Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds
Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is a tax-smart way to support the YMCA’s mission. Gifts of appreciated securities may allow you to avoid capital gains tax while making a significant difference in our community. To get started, download the Gift of Stock form. Completed forms can be dropped off, mailed, or emailed to your YMCA.

Matching Gifts
Double your impact with a matching gift! Many employers offer programs to match their employees' charitable donations. Check with your employer to see if they participate. Download the Matching Gift form from your employer, fill it out, and return it to your YMCA by dropping it off, mailing it, or emailing it. Your generosity, multiplied!
