Find Your Reason to Give. Find Your Y.
For 150 years, the YMCA of Greater Seattle has been a place where people come together to support one another.
When something essential is missing, whether that is access to healthy food, a safe place to belong, or guidance from a trusted adult, the Y steps in alongside the community.
Gifts to the Y help ensure youth, families, and neighbors across our region can access programs, services, and support that foster growth, connection, and well-being.
When you give, you become part of a community of people who believe everyone deserves opportunity, dignity, and belonging.

Many people support the Y because it has played a role in their life, or in the life of someone they care about.
Others give because they believe access to opportunity should not depend on income, zip code, or circumstance.
Starting a fundraiser is a simple way to act on that belief and invite others to do the same.
When you ask friends, family, or colleagues to give alongside you, your support goes further than a single gift. Together, you help ensure more neighbors can access the support, connection, and sense of belonging the Y works to make possible every day.
Interested in Volunteering?
Volunteers are a vital part of how the Y shows up for our community.
Last year, more than 1,200 volunteers invested nearly 47,000 hours of service supporting youth, families, and neighbors across our region. Those hours helped create welcoming spaces, strengthen programs, and build connection.
Whether you have an hour to give or a skill to share, there are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful impact.
150 Years of Community Impact
This year marks 150 years of the YMCA of Greater Seattle showing up for youth, families, and communities across our region.
From meeting basic needs to creating places of belonging and connection, the Y’s work has always been shaped by the people who believe in a stronger, more inclusive community. That commitment continues today, guided by our mission and the shared responsibility we hold for one another.
