Annual Giving Program
YMCA Blue Ridge’s Annual Giving Program provides opportunities for youth, teens, and families to experience the Mountain: to come to us as guests and be nourished in spirit, mind and body, and to connect, grow and learn.
As a charitable organization, we help all people realize their full potential by providing financial support to those who cannot afford the full cost of a life-changing Mountaintop experience. At YMCA Blue Ridge, we make giving easy. Scroll down to donate your desired amount, or join one of our Giving Societies, outlined below.
Giving Societies
The Open Doors Club
The Open Doors Club does just that: opens doors for all to have a Mountaintop experience. Requiring an annual gift 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. To join the Open Doors Club, enter $250 as your giving amount below.
The Eureka Club
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. To join the Eureka Club, enter $500 as your giving amount below.
The Green Rocker Society
The Green Rocker Society is a giving society of donors who make a three-year commitment of at least $1,000 per year to the Annual Giving Program. Giving at this level ensures that our programs are open to all and that a substantial impact can be made to maintain and grow our programming and scholarship funding. To join the Green Rocker Society, enter $1,000 as your giving amount below.
The 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. If you work at the Assembly and would like to give, please contact Suzette Armatas at sarmatas@yblueridge.org.
