The Importance of Every Donor
Supporting the Annual Team Giving Campaign is a chance to live out the Y’s mission in a personal way. Every dollar given directly supports children, families, and neighbors who rely on financial assistance to access programs like swim lessons, after-school care, summer camp, and wellness opportunities. When team members give, it shows unity, strengthens the sense of community, and shows members and donors that the Y family truly believes in the work we do every day.
Even a small gift makes a big impact—and together, our collective generosity helps ensure everyone has the chance to belong and thrive at the Y.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Y of the North is a nonprofit organization whose mission relies on donor support. With help from our partners, we increase access to resources and opportunities. Together, we can do even more to support our communities.
Just as we ask our members, program participants, alumni, and community partners for financial contributions, we turn to our colleagues and ask for an annual donation of any size.
No matter the gift size, when we come together and support the parts of our mission that matter most to each of us individually, we create a tidal wave of impact across the many communities we serve.
Using the ‘Become a Sustainer’ gift amount form, select your hourly rate and then select the ‘process my gift monthly’ option below that. Lastly, where the form says, ‘I want to support,’ select where you would like your donation to go.
You can adjust your recurring gift amount and/or designation anytime by visiting this link and filling out a new giving form. You are also welcome to contact our amazing gift processing team at (612) 371-8707 or Giving@ymcamn.org.

You will receive communications throughout the year, letting you know how your donation makes a difference in real-time and shedding light on the greatest needs.
