Why Give To The YMCA of Honolulu?
We will always be here to serve our communities, in good times and bad.
The YMCA of Honolulu is a nonprofit 501
(c) 3 organization founded in 1869. For over 140 years, the Y has worked side by
side with our local communities through wars, economic downturns, social
upheaval and health crises. The YMCA is committed and equipped to meet the
changing needs and challenges of Oahu's families and communities.
Our youth and families need the YMCA, more than ever.
The Y is one of the largest providers of
youth and teen programs in Hawaii (including after school programs and teen
outreach/counseling). The demand for financial assistance and programs continues
to grow. In 2012, the Y assisted youth and families with $1,000,000 in
financial assistance to participate in many Y programs and services.
We are strong fiscal managers.
Over ninety
cents for each dollar contributed (90%) goes directly to provide financial
assistance for youth, teens and families to participate in YMCA programs and to
subsidize youth and teen programs. Most organizations’ overhead
averages 18-25%. The Y is committed to keeping its administrative costs low,
while still providing quality programs. In spite of the current economic downturn,
the YMCA remains debt-free and adequately staffed with well-trained
professionals. We invest in our facilities, staff and programs to better serve
our community.
We value our supporters.
At the Y, we consider donors part of our YMCA membership ohana. Many of our donors have supported our Y for their entire lives, and for several family generations. These relationships can only exist when there is a high level of trust, as our communities have for our YMCA.
