Support the Y

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Y.

The YMCA of the Upper Main Line was founded on the philanthropy - including gifts of time, talent, and financial support - of the community in 1962.

The continuation and expansion of giving to the YMCA since then has helped us remain one of the most valuable community resources in the region. The philanthropic investment of our members, businesses, friends and staff help to provide funding for the Y’s financial assistance program, day-to-day operations and for our long-term goals, which include facility expansion/enhancements.

Supporting the Y ensures that we are here for those who need us most with programs, activities and services that best meet the needs of children and families in our community.

Please see the Ways to Give section of this site to learn more about different ways to support the YMCA. Whether it is to recognize the extraordinary experience you received as a member, to make a difference for a local family with financial assistance, or to help preserve our mission, your gift will ensure no eligible person will be turned away for inability to pay.
