Welcome to Y Day of Giving - May 11th, 2026

Y Day of Giving is a special opportunity starting on May 11th, 2026 for you to give back to your community by supporting our Y CARES Financial Assistance Program. This is a day where our entire community comes together to support the YMCA and the incredible work happening here every single day. It’s all about creating opportunity, building connection, and making sure that everyone—no matter their circumstances—has a place to belong.

Because here at the Y… we all belong.

And this year, being part of it is simple.

The first $10,000 raised for Y Day of Giving will be matched by an anonymous donor and friend of the YMCA of Greater Nashua.

“Daycare, pre-school, after school activities, programs such as dance & aquatics, and summer camp were indispensable in raising our two daughters and having a fulfilling family life here in Merrimack. We want all members of our community to have the same access to these vital opportunities as our family did.” – Anonymous Donor

Double your impact with just $25 to help open the door for someone in our community..

What is the Y CARES Financial Assistance Program?

Y CARES provides financial assistance scholarships that enable children, adults, and seniors with limited means to participate in any Y program or service. Together, we have helped provide nearly $1.5 million in in community benefits and services to those in need in our community, ensuring that individuals, from infancy to adulthood, can find support, connection, belonging and opportunity within our walls. This includes subsidized memberships, childcare, swim lessons, wellness programs, and more, empowering people at every stage of life to grow, connect, and thrive.

Help Us Say "Yes" to More Families

With your partnership, we can keep saying “Yes” — yes to the child ready to jump into the pool, yes to the parent needing childcare to stay in work, and yes to adults of all ages seeking health and community. Please consider joining in on this exciting day of giving and community, by making a donation today.
