Donate to the 2026 YMCA of Columbia Annual Campaign
At the YMCA of Columbia, we believe this is The All In, All Together Place—a place where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to thrive. Our Annual Campaign is a vital effort that provides scholarships for individuals and families who cannot afford YMCA memberships and programs.
When you give, you help remove financial barriers—ensuring children, families, and individuals have access to health, connection, and personal growth. Because there is truly No Place Like This Place.
Who Does It Help?
Every dollar raised goes directly to those in need. Your donation supports:
- Children in afterschool and summer camp programs
- Families who need financial assistance for memberships
- Seniors and individuals seeking wellness opportunities
- Youth looking to build confidence through sports and swim programs
In 2025 alone, thanks to generous donors like you:
- 529 children received afterschool program scholarships
-
368 kids experienced the joy of summer camp
-
180 memberships were made possible for those in need
-
112 youth participated in swim and sports programs with financial assistance
When is the Annual Campaign?
Year-round support makes our work possible, but our Annual Campaign—April 20 through May 5—is when our community comes together in a big way, beginning with Day of Giving and ending with Midlands Gives.
What are Your Giving Levels?
Your YMCA membership supports daily operations, but your donation helps ensure access, opportunity, and belonging for those who need it most. This is the All In, All Together Place—and there is truly No Place Like This Place.
