Staff Giving
Our Y is a local community nonprofit charity that is proud to join the ranks of YMCAs across the country who offer youth meal programs, low-cost swim lessons, community support during natural disasters, emergency child care, and so much more!
As Y staff, you know firsthand the impact that our Y makes on the greater Missoula community. We are committed to being a warm, welcoming place for all and work hard to ensure that no one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
Thanks to the efforts of our staff, donors, and volunteers, we're proud to offer financial assistance and subsidized program costs. We offer a number of low-cost programs, such as Youth Soccer League, Swim Lessons, and Full-Day Enrichment, as well as a few that are completely free, like Active 6, Child Watch, and the Learning Hub!
2023 Annual Support Campaign
Every year, the Missoula Y hosts our Annual Support Campaign that makes Y programs possible! Our 2023 goal is to raise $1 million to support Y programs and services as well as the Here for Good Capital Plan. Last year, Missoula Y staff collectively gave $14,000 toward our campaign goal.
Digital Pledge Sheet There are many ways to support this year's campaign. We're thrilled to offer a digital pledge sheet this year. Whether you're donating online, through your paycheck, or in another way, our digital pledge sheet will guide you through the process. The Missoula YMCA is a 501(c)3 and your gift is 100% tax-deductible.
Power Hour Club
Our Power Hour Club is an optional program for Y staff who give a minimum of one hour of their monthly paycheck (12+ hours per year) to the Annual Support Campaign. Power Hour Club members receive recognition throughout the facility, entry in fun giveaways, and more!
