Since its founding in London in 1844 and arrival in the United States shortly thereafter, the YMCA has championed the holistic well-being of mind, body, and spirit. Today, over 2,700 local YMCAs serve more than 10 million Americans each year through programs that build character and empower communities. From toddler swim lessons and summer day camps to teen leadership retreats and senior wellness classes, the Y meets people where they are—providing safe, inclusive spaces for growth, connection, and healthy living.
Through our integration with GiveShopper™’s Give Back Window™, your routine shopping now directly uplifts your local YMCA. Simply opt in at checkout, and a percentage of every eligible purchase you make is automatically directed to fund the programs you care about—whether that’s helping a child master the water in beginner swim, underwriting free after-school tutoring in underserved neighborhoods, or supporting community health initiatives like diabetes prevention workshops.
The YMCA’s impact is both deep and measurable. Last year alone, local Ys provided more than 1.5 million swim lessons, awarded over 150,000 financial scholarships, and engaged thousands of volunteers in service projects. With GiveShopper™, you can see that impact in real time: a badge at checkout highlights the specific program your purchase is supporting, along with up-to-the-minute figures on participants served, hours of instruction funded, and lives changed.
By shopping with GiveShopper™ and supporting the YMCA, you become an active partner in building healthier, stronger communities. No extra steps, no separate donation—just seamless giving through purchases you’re already making. Join us in empowering every generation to learn, grow, and thrive. Together, we Live United—one shopping cart at a time.
