Offering Opportunities for All
The YMCA's annual fundraising goes where membership fees don’t. It powers critical programs and activities that keep kids safe, people healthy, and families strong. The Y needs your support to continue to make these services possible.
Strengthening Our Scope
While YMCA membership fees help people grow, it's our annual fundraising that gives us the power to make our community even stronger. When you give to the Open Doors Community Scholarship Campaign, you're positively contributing to our primary impact areas: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. You're also supporting the various programs the Y provides outside of our health and wellness activities, such as Feed-A-Child; Open Doors, which offers financial support to qualifying families); and Y on the Fly, our Y on wheels. Help us deliver on our mission to improve lives by giving to the Findlay Family YMCA.
