ABOUT YMCA DAY OF GIVING

YMCA Day of Giving began in the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina in 2015 as a one-day, all hands on deck, hyper focused campaign effort that engaged staff at all levels, engaged volunteers, and acted as a final push for branches toward their Annual Campaign goals.

By 2018, YMCA Day of Giving spread to Texas at the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. In 2019, the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth and the Arlington-Mansfield Area YMCA joined the initiative to make it a DFW metroplex-wide campaign.

2020 marked the launch of a nationwide partnership with almost 30 YMCA Associations celebrating this one-day giving effort.  Whether in local communities or across the country, the Y recognizes that it is stronger when people work together. In 2022, this national one-day giving event raised over $950,000.  Since inception, YMCA Day of Giving has raised over $2.95 MILLION in charitable gifts to support local communities throughout the country.

The Y will continue to help support their local communities and the millions of families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
