It’s sustainable!

Monthly gifts enable us to strategically invest in specific areas of our work and expand our programs, because we know we have ongoing support.

Other Ways to Support the Y

Volunteer

The Y has a variety of volunteer opportunities for uptowners to make a difference, welcoming people of all backgrounds to support the Y’s wide range of services and programs.

Planned Giving & Endowments

Bequests greatly enhance and enrich the programs that the Y offers and also provide funding for capital projects.

You can make a lasting difference with a planned gift. By tailoring your gift to your own financial and estate planning needs, you can maximize the value of your charitable donation and still realize personal, financial, and tax benefits.
