Thank You for a Great Spring Campaign!

Celebrations, Philanthropy

You showed up, and it made all the difference!

This spring, our community came together around a shared goal: raise $250,000 to help ensure access to YMCA programs for all—regardless of income, background, or circumstance.

Thanks to your generosity, we not only reached that goal—we surpassed it.

We received more than 700 donations, including support from over 200 new donors. That’s hundreds of people saying yes to building a stronger, more inclusive community.

What Is Annual Giving?

The YMCA’s Annual Giving Campaign is about more than fundraising—it’s about removing barriers.

Every dollar raised helps children attend summer camp or swim lessons, families afford high-quality preschool and after-school care, and individuals access wellness programs that support their physical and mental health. Annual Giving fills the gap between what families can afford and what it truly costs to run transformative programs. It’s how we keep our promise that the Y is for all.

Campaign Highlights

This year’s success was driven by your energy and creativity:

  • Spin-a-Thon raised both heart rates and donations and kicked off Idaho Gives efforts
  • Class asks engaged our fitness community
  • Matching gifts inspired others to give generously

Why It Matters

We heard directly from donors why they give:

“I give to support my neurological patients, in hopes of continuing to build a bridge to accessible and safe community fitness.”

“The Y was there for me and my kids when I was a struggling single mom. I want to pay it forward for someone else in need.”

“The Y is the cornerstone of every successful community. The more stable and healthy the YMCA is, so goes the community built around them.”

What’s Next?

Your support will fuel impact all year long—but our mission continues.

Thank you for making the Y stronger, more welcoming, and truly for all.
