The YMCA is a Charity

Many people do not know that the YMCA is an IRS-designated 501(c)3 non-profit. As such, the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga contributed over $1.75 million to more than 15,000 families and individuals in 2009.

Contributions to the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign can now be made online through our partnership with firstgiving.org.

Scholarships

The YMCA’s financial assistance program, supported in part through contributions to the Strong Kids Campaign and United Way, provides scholarships for YMCA programs and services for those in need within our available resources. The YMCA is for everyone regardless of race, religion, gender, age, income or ability.

Volunteering

The YMCA is a volunteer-led, community-based organization. More information coming soon on how to volunteer.
