Strong Communities Campaign

Our Community relies on the YMCA, and the YMCA relies on dedicated donors like you. Our fiscal year is coming to an end and we need your support. You can make a difference. 

Help us reach our goal by March 31, 2024:

$100,000. 

Our fiscal year is coming to an end and we are approximately $10,000 away from our goal. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community!

Reasons to Give:

  • The YMCA is a charity – we give back to our communities!
  • This fiscal year we have already provided over $100,000 in Financial Assistance.
  • 930 people requested financial assistance in 2023.

Strong Communities Challenge

We challenge you to make a difference in your community!

Support a family in need.

Pledge $1,200/year for a three year term to support a family membership and offer them the lasting benefits of swimming, sports, fitness, family focused activities and quality time together.

Local businesses, this is a great way to make a positive and tangible difference for people across Grey Bruce and show your community you care! You can donate online or submit pledge form to our Welcome Desk. Email fundraising@osgb.ymca.ca or call 519-376- 0484 ext 253 for more details.
