Staff Giving
Together, we can make a greater impact!
Why you matter
The YMCA of South Hampton Roads is nothing without its staff. The time, energy, and care you put into your job each day is what makes the Y special. Because of you the Y is a safe, reliable part of so many people’s lives.
What it means when you give
When you donate to the IMPACT Fund, you make it possible for people to access the Y and its programs regardless of their ability to pay. Your donation says that not only are you dedicated to serving the members we already have, but that you want to share your gifts and talents with even more of our neighbors. Your donation says that you know that access to the Y makes people’s lives better, and you want more people to have that opportunity.
Whether you choose to give a small one-time gift, or enroll in payroll deduction, your decision to give a monetary gift, in addition to your time and energy, makes a real impact on someone else’s life.
Thank you for being the glue that holds our communities together.

What is the IMPACT Fund?
The IMPACT Fund supports the YMCA's charitable mission and helps make programs and services more accessible to individuals and families throughout the communities we serve. Staff should refer to current Y-approved campaign materials for specific funding priorities.
How much am I expected to give?
There is no required gift amount. Staff giving is entirely voluntary. Employees should give only if they choose to and at a level that is comfortable for them.
Does a small gift really make a difference?
Yes. Every contribution adds to the collective support that helps advance the Y's mission. Participation is valued at every level.
Where does my contribution go?
Contributions support the IMPACT Fund. Staff should use the current campaign giving page or approved materials for details on fund allocation and any available designation options.
Are there other ways to give?
Yes. You can give through payroll deduction, make a pledge and receive reminders, set up a recurring payment through your credit card or bank account, or make a one-time gift via cash, check, or online giving.
Will my supervisor know whether I gave or how much I contributed?
Giving decisions and gift amounts should be handled confidentially by authorized personnel. Center leaders will receive only the information needed to coordinate the campaign and report approved aggregate results.
What if I cannot give financially?
You are still an important part of creating connected communities. Staff can support the mission through their daily work, volunteering when appropriate, sharing approved campaign information, and helping others understand the Y's impact.
