Giving to the YMCA The YMCA of Greater Syracuse is a non-profit, cause-driven association that has been serving the community more than 150 years. Our mission seeks to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all ages, regardless of ability to pay. Each year, the Y receives generous contributions from area residents and businesses that allow the Y to grow and reach thousands of more people in our community. Below are a few of the ways you can support the YMCA. To join the cause, click "GIVE NOW" above to join the cause. Y Partners The Y Partners Campaign is the annual giving campaign for the YMCA of Greater Syracuse. This campaign allows the YMCA to provide financial assistance to individuals and families through membership scholarships and by subsidizing program costs at the Y. More information is available in the 2011 Y Partners brochure. Heritage Club The Heritage Club is an organization of people who have shown their long-term interest and support of the YMCA by either a direct contribution to the YMCA’s Endowment Fund or by including the YMCA in their estate plans.

Northwest Family YMCA The YMCA and community volunteers are raising money to build the Northwest Family YMCA at the corner of state Route 31 and Drakes Landing Road in the Town of Lysander.
