The YMCA-YWCA as a Charity

As a charitable association, the Y is proud to provide financial assistance to families who otherwise couldn’t offer a camp experience to their children. Strong Kids, the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg’s annual giving campaign, helps to make sure everyone is welcome and no child is left out. 100 per cent of YMCA-YWCA Annual Campaign funds raised go to making sure that no one is excluded due to financial need. Donors give through the Y, not to the Y.
