Ways to Give

Your generosity helps ensure every child, family, and individual in our community has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Support Our Mission

At the Staunton-Augusta YMCA, we believe everyone deserves access to programs that strengthen spirit, mind, and body. Through generous community support, we provide financial assistance and mission-driven programs that remove barriers and create opportunity. Your gift directly supports youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility initiatives that impact hundreds of families each year.

Annual Giving Campaign

Our Annual Giving Campaign fuels the heart of our mission. Each year, we work to raise $160,000 to provide scholarships, expand mission programs, and ensure cost is never a barrier to participation. Membership is something you do for yourself. Donating is something you do for someone else. Your contribution helps children attend camp, families access wellness programs, and neighbors receive life-changing support.

Access for All

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through our Annual Giving Campaign and community support, we provide financial assistance and mission-driven programs that ensure cost is never a barrier to participation. Membership is something you do for yourself. Donating is something you do for someone else. Together, we make sure the Y remains accessible and welcoming to all.

Partnering for Impact

The Staunton-Augusta YMCA works alongside local schools, businesses, churches, and organizations to expand our reach and deepen our impact. These partnerships allow us to serve more children, support more families, and respond to emerging community needs. By working together, we amplify our mission and create meaningful, lasting change throughout Staunton and Augusta County.

Why Your Gift Matters

Behind every donation is a story — a child gaining confidence in swim lessons, a senior improving mobility through wellness programs, or a family finding community during challenging times. Your generosity makes these stories possible. By giving to the Staunton-Augusta YMCA, you become a partner in building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Shenandoah Valley.

FAQs

Mission Programs allow the Staunton-Augusta Family YMCA to extend our impact beyond our building. While memberships support the operation of our facility, Mission Programs allow us to reach vulnerable populations and strengthen our community in deeper ways. These programs focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Mission Programs are supported through our Annual Giving Campaign (AGC). Each year, we invite our community to come together with a goal of raising $160,000 to help offset the costs of these essential programs. When you donate to the AGC, you are directly helping someone else access life-changing programs and services.
