Annual Giving Campaign

The Fort Madison Family YMCA's annual fundraising drive to provide opportunities to people in our community who seek engagement and healthier lifestyles.

2026 Goal: $55,000

Dear YMCA Friend,

It is with great excitement that we invite you to support the 2026 Annual Campaign of the Fort Madison Family YMCA.

Since 1965, the Y has been a vital hub for healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility. This year, we're aiming to raise $55,000 in support of the programs and services that continue to strengthen individuals and families throughout Fort Madison.

Your generosity helps ensure that the YMCA remains accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. Donations provide critical financial assistance, giving more kids and families access to programs like swimming lessons, youth sports, summer camps, and membership opportunities that promote growth in body, mind, and spirit.

We believe that with the support of local businesses, YMCA members, and community leaders like you, we can reach our goal and continue strengthening the community we all care about.

Your support builds a stronger, healthier community, one life at a time.

As a past supporter, we're truly grateful. To help meet rising program costs and growing community needs, we ask you to consider increasing your gift this year. Your continued generosity ensures the Y remains a place of opportunity, inclusion, and belonging.

Program Fees & Memberships

Money donated to the Annual Giving Campaign directly pays for program fees and memberships for children and people in need. The campaign allows children and teens whose families cannot afford to pay to participate in youth sports, after-school activities, and swimming lessons. It also covers the costs of childcare for preschool and school-age children.

Building Fund

Money donated to the Building Fund directly helps pay for facility needs and upgrades. Without the help of this fund, it would be tough to keep up with the repairs of the facility.

Thanks to the tens of thousands of dollars contributed by local supporters each year, we can teach all local youth how to swim, about the importance of physical and mental fitness, and about the importance of community.

Your Impact

Donor Recognition

All donors receive recognition at the Fort Madison Family YMCA in one form or another.

Your generosity not only strengthens our programs, it also strengthens your visibility as a community supporter.
