Make an Impact in Your Community

Support the Greater Carbondale YMCA

At the Greater Carbondale YMCA, we believe in strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. With your support, we can continue to provide essential programs, financial assistance, and life-changing opportunities for individuals and families in our community. There are many ways to make a difference—through donations, volunteering, and planned giving.

Ways to Support

Your generosity helps us expand programs, provide financial aid, and create a stronger, healthier community. Choose a way to give that works best for you.

Donate

Every donation, big or small, helps us provide scholarships, fund community initiatives, and maintain vital programs that make a lasting impact.

Volunteer

Give your time and talents to help improve lives in our community. From coaching youth sports to assisting with special events, there are many ways to get involved.

Leave a Legacy

Secure the future of the YMCA by contributing to our Endowment Fund. A gift to the endowment ensures that the Y can continue to serve future generations with quality programs and services.

Ways to contribute:

  • Planned Giving & Bequests – Leave a legacy that supports the Y’s mission for years to come.
  • Memorial & Honorary Gifts – Make a donation in memory or honor of a loved one.
  • Stock & Asset Contributions – Transfer appreciated assets to maximize giving impact.

Annual Giving Campaign

Each year, we launch our Annual Giving Campaign to support those in need. This campaign allows us to:

  • Provide financial assistance so no one is turned away from Y programs due to inability to pay.
  • Fund youth development programs that help children and teens grow into responsible, confident leaders.
  • Offer health and wellness programs that promote fitness, chronic disease prevention, and mental well-being.

Your gift during the Annual Giving Campaign directly impacts lives—helping families afford childcare, supporting senior wellness programs, and strengthening our entire community.
