Donor Recognition
The YMCA of Dane County is deeply appreciative of the contributions from each of our donors, sponsors, and grant funders. Only through their generosity is it possible for us to fulfill our mission. The invaluable gifts they provide help to develop and expand programs, minimize program costs and create opportunities for those not otherwise able to take advantage of YMCA services.

The continued community support of individuals, businesses, foundations, and other organizations makes a tremendous impact on the lives of families throughout Dane County. We invite you to meet some of our supporters, and learn how their gifts have helped to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

Thank you for helping us to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
