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.
