Impact Fund

Help Support the Y

The YMCA Impact Fund is a yearly fundraising effort that ensures YMCA programs and services remain accessible to everyone in our community. By securing charitable gifts from individuals, businesses, and partners, this fund provides the financial assistance and program subsidies that make the Y possible for all.

In 2025, the Harrisburg Area YMCA directed nearly $277,000 in support to children, families, and individuals across Dauphin and Cumberland Counties. These resources opened doors to childcare, summer camp, wellness programs, and more, helping people of all ages and backgrounds thrive.

As one of the region’s leading nonprofits, the Harrisburg Area YMCA is committed to advancing equity, fostering whole-person health, and strengthening the community. Your support of the Impact Fund makes this work possible.

Our Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Any time someone purchases a membership, makes a donation, or volunteers at the YMCA, they are doing more for their community. Money that comes to the YMCA stays in the Harrisburg area, supporting the education of local children, housing for local men in need, subsidized memberships for those who have a financial need, and much more.
