BenefitsofGivingMonthly

You’ll make long-term, sustained impact

Monthly donations give the Y predictability and stability. When we can rely on monthly gifts, we can plan and deliver programs with more certainty, and with an eye for the longer-term. In other words, our monthly donors help us make deeper, sustained investments in our communities, using a planned approach to support our communities in the ways it’s needed most.

It’s the most streamlined giving option

Monthly gifts are automated, and you will receive a single, consolidated receipt at the end of the year for your tax return. This means monthly gifts take less paper, postage, time, and resources to process. Our YMCA’s administrative costs are reduced, and, in turn, more dollars go towards programming and supporting your community.

Monthly gifts help donors make a sustained impact, with affordable payments

Monthly gifts also allow donors to make a meaningful investment in their community, doled out in affordable payments. Giving monthly allows you to budget and plan more effectively: donations are processed on the first or fifteenth of each month and you can change or cancel your gift at any time.
