The YMCA is one of the things that has lasted in this world where so much comes and goes so quickly. It is stable, value-based, professionally managed, in touch with public sentiment, and capable of meeting the changing conditions and needs of the future.

Friends of the YMCA are helping to extend it’s influence beyond their own lifetimes with gifts of a part of the assets they have accumulated to the North Central Missouri YMCA’s Permanent Endowment. Such gifts can be designated to support the overall work of the YMCA or specific program. 

The Nation's tax laws provide incentives that encourage philanthropy in recognition of the singular role charitable organizations (including the YMCA) play in meeting important needs in our society.

Thank you to Friends of the YMCA that have given gifts to ensure the YMCA will continue with its mission in our community.

The YMCA Endowment Fund is now over $142,000, after receiving a generous donation from Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wilt on August 1, 2007. Our thanks and gratitude for their generosity and support of the North Central Missouri YMCA. Our hope is that we will reach our $200,000 initial goal by the end of 2008. For now, all of the earnings are being plowed back into the endowment fund.

As a Y Donor...

YMCAs embrace people of all ages, incomes, abilities, religions and ethnic backgrounds; they're for everyone. Ys work to break barriers of isolation and to create the connections between people that add meaning to life. Children and families who cannot afford to pay full costs deserve the experiences the Y offers as much as those who can. Your support, which goes beyond membership fees, helps YMCAs provide programs to those who otherwise couldn't afford to participate. 

The YMCA needs you to help children and teens grow up happy and strong. To support families in their efforts to be successful. And to make your neighborhood a safer, healthier, better place to live and work. Won't you please help by supporting your local YMCA?

PARTNERS WITH YOUTH CAMPAIGN

It has been the YMCA's philosophy, both nationally and in the Linn County area, to assure that its facilities and programs are open to all regardless of race, religion, age, handicap, national origin, or inability to pay. We are particularly concerned here in North Central Missouri that children from lower income homes have the same opportunity to become involved with the YMCA as children who are more economically advantaged. Therefore, the NCM YMCA actively promotes a scholarship program which provides Y memberships and programs for people in the lower economic conditions. You may help the YMCA in this endeavor through gifts to the YMCA Partners with Youth Program. Contributions are tax deductible. Any size contribution helps, but keep in mind that it costs an average of $75 per child per year to provide scholarships.
