YMCA Impact Fund

If you’re interested in making an even bigger difference in your community, the YMCA Impact Fund could be a great option for you.

Of course, we all contribute to the community through our core roles. But sometimes we also see needs that require something new or extra, beyond our existing activities. This could be a new innovation (like a new YMCA offering for example). Or it could be a more charitable need where the YMCA partners with other community groups to help people experiencing disadvantage.

If you see such an opportunity, we invite you to apply for a small grant to pursue it.

The YMCA has an amazing history of doing just that. This is how activities like basketball and volleyball, Father’s Day and Youth Parliament, were invented. Frontline YMCA staff saw a need, thought creatively about solutions, and formed a team to give it a go. That’s exactly what you could do through the YMCA Impact Fund. This is your opportunity to participate in that incredible global legacy… remembering that every big success started out as something small.

There are two categories to consider.
