The YMCAs of Québec Foundation

At the YMCA of Québec Foundation, we help build stronger, more inclusive, and more caring communities across the province.

Our team works every day to inspire generosity and ensure that the funds raised are wisely managed to support the essential programs and services of the YMCAs of Québec.

Thanks to the trust and generosity of our donors, we can make these programs accessible to the most vulnerable communities and provide everyone with fair access to opportunities that truly change lives.

Because every child, every young person, and every family deserves to grow, to shine, and to have an equal chance to reach their full potential.

Together, creating connections that change lives.

Your donation helps youth, families and people facing vulnerability build meaningful connections, find their place and thrive in their communities.

Giving to the YMCA of Québec Foundation means offering children, families, and people in vulnerable situations an equal opportunity to grow and thrive — right in the heart of their community.

Your donations support initiatives that foster inclusion, health, personal growth, and participation in YMCA activities — from youth programs and community projects to sports and recreational activities that bring people together.

There are many ways to make a concrete difference: through an individual gift, a corporate partnership, or by taking part in our flagship fundraising events, such as the YMCA Peace Gala or the YMCA Challenge.
Every action counts and helps strengthen the social fabric of our communities.

Whether one-time, monthly, or planned, every gift changes lives.
Because building the communities of tomorrow starts today.
And it starts with you.

Testimonials from our donors, staff, and youth

  • What makes the YMCA unique? Its local mission. The YMCA is rooted in the community and is focused on real challenges. It is important to us that people feel safe and develop a sense of belonging to their community. That’s why we made the YMCA a philanthropic priority.

    Donors

  • I really wanted to find a place where I felt the freedom and independence to do what I want. For me, that's the YMCA: a place where you can play sports, learn, socialize, and have fun. Here it feels like a family. At the Y, I'm encouraged to pursue my dreams.

  • I've seen young people who are having huge difficulties at school come into our centres. Today, these same people are role models for other youth to persevere in school. All because we gave them a chance, we gave them resources in a place where they felt supported.
