Giving

Make An Impact

Every day at the Y, we strive to create positive, lasting change. From athletics to academic achievement, summer camp to senior activities, the Y doesn’t just strengthen bodies. It strengthens our community.

As we face new challenges, there’s a growing need for the work we do. Where some see obstacles, we see opportunities to make a difference. As a non-profit, we need your support to make it happen. Together, we can do so much more.

When you give to the YMCA of Montclair your generosity reaches and supports children, families and seniors throughout our community.

Every gift matters. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we’re changing lives.

100% of your dollars go to those who need us most. Last year we gave away $400,000 of financial assistance and allocated another $400,000 to our Social Responsibility programs.

• 426 economically disadvantaged children and teens benefited from our after school child care and summer camp programs.
