YMCA of Metropolitan Denver

150 Years of You.

Together, we can rebuild connection in a world that feels divided.

Across Colorado, too many neighbors feel isolated and unseen. The YMCA exists for this moment—a place where differences meet and friendships form. In our gyms, pools, classrooms, and centers, children find mentors, parents find support, and older adults rediscover purpose and belonging.

For more than 150 years, the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver has been a trusted space where people of every age, background, and belief come together to strengthen body, mind, and spirit. And while the world keeps changing, our purpose remains the same: to build community, connection, and hope—for all.

When you give to the Y, you’re not just funding programs, you’re building community, strengthening relationships, and creating spaces where everyone feels they belong.

Your generosity is an act of unity, kindness, and love.

Your Gift in Action:

• $25: You give a child more than a game—you give them confidence, teamwork, and the joy of belonging through a week of Youth Sports.
• $150: You open the door for a young person to discover their voice and purpose through Youth in Government, helping them lead with confidence and hope for the future. 
• $400: You help a child thrive all summer long through YMCA Power Scholars, providing academic support, curiosity, and care that lasts well beyond the classroom.
• $980:  You empower an adult to take control of their health through the Diabetes Prevention Program, helping them feel stronger, freer, and more confident every day.
• $2,000: You give a family peace of mind and a child a nurturing start through Y Academy Early Childhood Education, where learning happens in a safe, welcoming, and loving environment.

Your gift, no matter the size, builds a community where everyone is seen, supported, and valued. 

Together for a Stronger Us

When you give to the YMCA, you’re giving more than a gift—you’re giving a sense of belonging. You’re helping a child make their first friend, a parent find support, and an older adult rediscover joy.

Because in Denver, we still believe that community begins with care—and that care begins with you.

Get Back while you Give Back:
