About the YMCA of Central Ohio's Annual Campaign

Help Us Ensure Health, Well-being & Opportunity for All.

Each year, the YMCA of Central Ohio conducts its Annual Campaign to help achieve our vision of strong communities where all people reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring that anyone who seeks access to our transformative programs and community impact services can participate, regardless of their financial situation. For decades, we have upheld our promise to never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay the regular rates for our community programs and services. This commitment is made possible through the generous charitable support of our members and the wider community.

At the YMCA of Central Ohio, we believe everyone should have the tools and resources to thrive. The YMCA is the original 501(c)(3) nonprofit that generates revenue through donations, programs and services to fund initiatives that build strong communities. Our dedicated work spans across five generations and is rooted in ensuring access, inclusion and opportunity for all. 100% of Annual Campaign contributions go back into the community. An investment in the YMCA is an investment in the community.

Who We Are & What We Do

The YMCA of Central Ohio is a leading nonprofit committed to building strong communities where all people reach their full potential. As the cornerstone of the community, the YMCA serves five generations every day with a mission to serve the whole community through programs expressing Judeo-Christian principles that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. These principles, and the Y itself, are not exclusive to any one religion and are carried out through our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility are the three pillars that anchor our service within the community to empower young people, improve individual and community health and inspire action and change in our communities. We have a regional scope with a local presence, serving as the heartbeat of 13 communities and five counties.

Our programs, principles and core values all support our dedicated work to build strong communities where all people thrive. Whether it’s helping a child build confidence in swim lessons, supporting families through housing and food programs, or providing a welcoming space for seniors to connect, we ensure that everyone has access to opportunities for a brighter, healthier future. With our broad reach and diverse social services, the YMCA is uniquely positioned to connect individuals with resources to meet our communities’ most critical needs.
