YMCA of Greater Louisville

At the YMCA of Greater Louisville, we believe that everyone—regardless of age, income, or background—deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

We are more than just a gym. We are a cause-driven nonprofit committed to strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Every day, the Y provides vital programs and services to thousands of children, teens, adults, and seniors across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana. With your support, we ensure that these opportunities remain accessible to all, especially those who need them most.

Your Gift Makes an Impact

When you give to the YMCA during Give for Good Louisville, you're joining a movement of changemakers, advocates, and neighbors working together to create lasting impact.

Here’s how your support helps:

• Youth Development: Your gift helps provide safe, supportive spaces for young people through afterschool care, summer day camp, leadership programs like Black Achievers and Y Achievers, and educational enrichment that builds confidence and character.

• Healthy Living: Donations fund programs that support community health and wellness, including swim lessons, chronic disease prevention, nutrition education, and opportunities for seniors to stay active and connected.

• Social Responsibility: We offer housing, food support, and access to mental health and wellness resources. From Safe Place Services, which provides critical support for teens in crisis, to volunteer initiatives that bring neighbors together, the Y is there for our community every step of the way.

And we do all of this while ensuring no one is turned away due to an inability to pay. Your generosity helps us remove financial barriers so that all individuals and families can experience the transformative power of the Y.

How to Give

Giving is easy—and every dollar stays local to make a direct impact right here in our community. Whether you give $10 or $1,000, you’re part of the story we’re telling—a story of resilience, connection, and hope.

Want to support a specific program, location, or initiative? Please type the name of the program (such as Black Achievers, Safe Place Services, Camp Piomingo, or your local YMCA branch) in the comment section when making your donation. We’ll make sure your gift goes where your heart is.

Lights, Camera, Impact!

This year’s campaign theme celebrates the everyday heroes who make our work possible—supporters like you. Behind every donation is a story: a child who learns to swim, a teen who finds their voice, a senior who stays active and connected, or a family who finds the support they need to thrive.

Join us this Give for Good Louisville in shining a spotlight on what truly matters. Together, we can write the next scene in the story of a stronger, healthier, more equitable community.

Thank you for supporting the YMCA of Greater Louisville. Let’s Give for Good—and give with heart.
