Annual Campaign
Extend Your Impact
When a person joins the Y, their passion and purpose are added to our mission as we slowly and steadily become a stronger, healthier community.
When that same individual gives to the Y, they extend their impact exponentially through the support the Y provides our neighbors each and every day. Like tossing a stone into water, individual generosity creates a ripple effect throughout the community that allows more people to belong, more healthy lifestyles to be created, and more young people to find a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive.

Our Mission
The Ann Arbor YMCA’s mission is to put our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into action through facilities and programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We are an Association made up of people from every walk of life, working side by side to strengthen communities.
Together we strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, gender expression, gender identity, income, faith, sexual orientation or cultural background has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. Membership dues cover the costs of operating YMCA facilities, but they do not support additional costs for outreach programs and financial assistance for the less advantaged.
About the Campaign
The YMCA Annual Campaign is a yearly fundraising effort that allows us to fully realize our mission, especially as it relates to the last two words: “for all.”
The Y recognizes the importance of financial accessibility and is determined to make membership and program fees affordable for everyone in our community. This annual fundraising initiative serves as the backbone of our philanthropic efforts by securing charitable gifts from the YMCA community to ensure our programs and services remain accessible.
We are one of Washtenaw County’s leading non-profits, acting as a catalyst to transform lives and community. In 2024, the Y provided just over $500,000 in support, services, and program subsidies to kids and families-in-need in Washtenaw County and southern Livingston County. Investing in people of all ages and backgrounds, particularly those who are farthest from opportunity, is key to advancing equity and justice while building whole-person health for all.

Access for All
To ensure equitable access for all, income-based financial assistance allows everyone to access to the Y’s life-changing programs and services regardless of economic barriers.
The Y is a non-profit health and human services organization committed to helping people grow in mind, body and spirit. We focus on nurturing kids and teens, improving people’s health and well-being, and giving back to our neighbors. The Y believes that every person should have an opportunity to participate and pursue their own personal goals, regardless of financial status. Generous donations to the Y’s Annual Campaign provide funds for scholarship assistance to those who may need support.
