Our monthly donor campaign was developedโฏto inspire people to support ourโฏservice men and women by ensuring no military family is left behind.โฏOur fundraisers set upย a boothย outside of a shopping center or at busy intersections to engage donors about our mission.โฏ Speaking to folks one-on-one allows donors to ask questions and learn more about our programs in a way that we could not offer without our partners.ย
Service members sacrificeย daily for our freedom. Relocations, deployments, and frequent training in the field present unique challenges for military families,ย impactingย spousal employment opportunities, family bonding, and financial well-being. At times, they struggle to fully provide the basics for themselves or their families.ย
Our sustaining donor community provides critical funds to create impact whereย itโsย needed most: programs and services to address the unique challenges of military life. These critical services support whole-family wellbeing and include child care, early learning, after-school and resiliency programs for school-age children, emergencyย assistance, and food security.ย

Armed Services YMCA partnersย with,ย GiveBridge, and Professional Fundraising Solutions (PFS), twoย of the largest face-to-face fundraising services. In keeping with best practices for fundraising, our fundraisers receive comprehensive training which allows them to speak on behalf of Armed Services YMCA about ourย mission, ourย workย andย ourย fundraising programs.ย
Our fundraisers will invite you toย join our dedicated group of monthly donors, our Valor Corps,ย and WILL NOT accept, nor ask for cash. We will accept void checks for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Credit Cards toย securelyย set up your monthly donations.ย
How the process works:
If you have any questions about The Armed Services YMCA or ourย face to faceย fundraising efforts,ย you may contact our donor relations teamย at 855-GIV-ASYMCA (855-448-2796)ย between 8am and 11pm Eastern Standard Time.ย ย You may also email us at donation@asymca.org.ย
In addition to face-to-face fundraising, ASYMCA is calling residents who expressed interest in donatingย at a later timeย during past interactions.โฏ If you receive a phone call fromย our donor relations partnerย AnswerNetย on behalf of Armed Services YMCA, rest assured these are legitimate representatives calling you.โฏ You can also go online toย make a donationย atโฏhttps://give.asymca.org/inspired.ย
Bothย of our face-to-face fundraiser agencies provide Armed Services YMCA with a safe and secure method for engaging folks in their communities. It is a cost-effective way of raising funds to support our programs across 89 military installations, and it allows us to connect with donors on an individual level. All Armed Services YMCA external fundraising agencies are expected to engage in honest, respectful, and effectiveย fundraising to ensure results for military families, andย an enjoyableย work experience for their employees. They are expected to follow strict quality guidelines set by Armed Services YMCA.ย
Once you decide to become a monthly donor, the fundraiser will ask you to fill out a form with your contact information on their tablet, which will be sent toย Givebridge, or PFSโs (our vendors) verification center. You will receive aย callย and a representative will speak to you over the phone to verify the information received from the tablet and will then ask you for your banking information to complete the sign-up process. An email will be sentย immediatelyย confirming your donation.
All information collected to become an Armed Services YMCA donor is used directly for tax receipting purposes and to update our donors on how their donations are making an impact. All information will remain confidential and will not be shared with any other organization.ย Your contact preference can be changed at any time simply by calling us at 855-GIV-ASYMCA (855-448-2796).
