We want you to give to the Y in the way that makes the most sense to you and is the most convenient to your giving needs. Monthly giving allows you to budget your donation and allows us to better plan our programs and services more effectively.

• Your monthly gift keeps our community support active.  Your monthly gift ensures we can respond to needs immediately, with an invested group of donors dedicated to meeting our communities' most pressing needs.
• Your monthly gift provides predictable revenue.  Much like your membership at the Y, monthly giving supports the mission work of the Y and helps us avoid peaks and valleys of donations, ensuring we can spend more time on strategic planning, training, and serving our community and less time on fundraising.
• Simply put, your monthly gift sustains our mission-driven work.  You will be supporting the day to day work of our mission and demonstrates a lasting investment in our mission.

Annual donations of $1,000 receive banner recognition within one facility and those giving $2,500 receive a banner in two locations; all donations over $5,000 receive a prominent Champion Banner.  All donor banners are displayed in your Y until the following year’s campaign.
