Recent law changes have meant that it is now easier to make donations directly from your pay - and you will receive the tax benefit immediately, no need to wait until the end of the tax year. Please consider making a donation to the YMCA via your pay. Your support will help us continue our work and you could help send a kid to camp, provide youth with the opportunity to learn and develop in a safe environment, help train a youth worker, provide a young mother with an opportunity she might not otherwise have.
The YMCA is a registered charity so please ask your manager or payroll staff if you can make a donation from your pay. It doesn't matter how much, every bit helps. We will be happy to provide all the necessary details to your payroll staff to make this easy. Just ask them to contact us.
