We Appreciate Your Community Support!

Contributing to the Ashland Family YMCA translates into impactful outcomes that directly touch lives and make a profound difference. Your generosity supports hope, community, play, and health for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Join us in creating a brighter, healthier, and more connected future for our community.

We count on the generosity of our members and donors to support the Y’s Membership and Program Support program, which focuses on children and teens and provides financial assistance, on a sliding scale fee, to those in times of hardship. Gifts to the support fund make a huge difference in the lives of kids in our community. Every dollar donated goes directly to scholarships that send less fortunate kids to camp, teach them water safety and the joy of swimming, and allow them to learn and grow in the Y’s after-school programs, sports leagues, and gymnastics classes while building self-esteem and developing the core Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

We accept donations online, by check, or using Visa and MasterCard. We are also happy to take donation payments in quarterly or monthly installments.
