Support the Y
Donate Now
The Knox County YMCA is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization whose mission is to utilize Christian principles to instill character development. We believe in the four core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and practice these values in our daily lives. Financial Assistance keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most. We count on the generosity of our members and community to help people of all ages and from all walks of life be more healthy, confident, connected and secure. When you give to the Y, your gift will have a meaningful, enduring impact right in your own neighborhood.
As part of our mission, no person is denied participation or services of the YMCA thanks to our generous donors. Each year, the YMCA conducts a sustaining fundraising campaign (Strong Kids Campaign) in order to ensure that every person wishing to participate at the YMCA has opportunity to do so. Annually, the YMCA forgives approximately $50,000 in membership and program dollars which must be generated through private donors such as you.
Please consider giving to the YMCA to make an impact on youth and families. For more information on how you can make a tax deductible gift, please contact Adam Sampson at (309) 344-1324.

YMCA Youth Sports Sponsors
The Knox County YMCA would like to thank the following sponsors for their support of Youth Sports Programs. Sponsoring a youth sports league at the YMCA enables a business to make an investment in a precious commodity: our children. Specifically, your sponsorship dollars help to purchase sporting equipment to assist those who are unable to afford the league, and to keep the league fees to a minimum. Youth Sports Sponsors are listed on a banner in our gym and used as names for youth sports teams. For future Youth Sports Sponsorship opportunities, contact Justin Inskeep at 344-1324.
