Annual Giving Program
Our Annual Giving Program makes a magical Mountaintop experience affordable for all! You can make an impact today with your gift to our youth, teen and family programs.
Each day, YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly is striving to make the world a better place. For over a century we have helped to positively impact the lives of those we serve – children, youth, families, and even our own staff. Join us today in our cause to strengthen the foundations of community. By making a donation to YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly, you can help sustain the life-changing work that we do. Your gift can do many things – it can facilitate greater support of youth programs, provide more financial assistance to those who need a mountaintop experience, enable innovation and allow for the continued improvement of our campus and facilities.
Join One of our Giving Levels!
Open Doors Club
Eureka Club
The Open Doors Club does just that: opens doors for all to have a Mountaintop experience. Requiring an annual of just $250, Open Doors Club members are passionate about giving to the Blue Ridge mission through programming, conference support, and other opportunities that enable youth to thrive.
The Eureka Club is our giving society of donors committed to making an annual gift of $500 or more. A gift at this level is versatile: you can give a teen the opportunity to attend a national YMCA youth conference for a full week, or provide funding for multiple school groups to come to Blue Ridge for experiential learning.
Giving Every Month (GEM)
Blue Ridge GEMs is a donor initiative focused on providing consistent support for keeping our place beautiful and safe,
providing scholarships for the people who visit every year and funding programs provided by Blue Ridge and conference groups.
Monthly giving is a great way to support our cause – not only does it provide Blue Ridge with the opportunity to better plan for the future, but it also allows donors to increase their impact by spreading out larger
contributions over smaller, more manageable amounts.
Our largest annual philanthropic society, the Green Rocker Society recognizes donors who give at least $1000 a year for a minimum pledge term of three years. The Society is a three-level system that challenges you to increase you rgiving and pledge term to level-up to the highest tier within a seven-year period. You retain membership in the Society as long as you keep giving at these levels. And, for the time you a member, your name goes on a plaque on a Green Rocker on one of our campus porches!
Blue Ridge Spirit Society
Our staff has the Blue Ridge Spirit! The Blue Ridge Spirit Society is our group of Blue Ridge-employed givers: those who serve at the Assembly and see the impact of our work each day on the lives of our guests.
