Be the Spark. ✨ Fund a Bold Dream.

Introducing Women of the Y

Women of the Y is a new circle of giving consisting of a group of women who believe in the power of action. Together, we’ll fund One Big Idea each year—a bold, community-changing project that makes life better for children, families, and neighborhoods across our region, powered by the reach, heart, and mission of the Y. This is your invitation to be one of the Founding Members of the Women of the Y Fund – leading the way, giving boldly and taking action to bring big dreams to life.”

✨ How It Works:

Give: $1,000 annually
Gather: Each year, donors will vote on which bold, community-changing project to fund.
Grow: Remaining gifts build an endowed fund to support future dreams.
Celebrate: Join us each fall for a joyful gathering to share the impact and ignite what’s next!

✨ What Kind of Dreams Will We Fund?

Each Big Idea will align with at least one of the YMCA’s Vision 2030 priorities:

Youth Success – Every child graduates ready for what’s next
Water Safety for All – All kids learn to swim, regardless of zip code
Community Health – Every family has tools to thrive
Mental Health – Everyone feels seen, supported, and welcome
College & Career Readiness for Teens – Every teen has a pathway forward

✨ Ready to be one of the founding members?

Yes! Count me in. I’m excited to be one of the Founding Members of the Women of the Y Fund. I’ll give $1,000 in 2025 to support One Big Idea—and help bring bold dreams to life.
