We exist to bring real change to issues affecting our communities. We are more than a place. We are a purpose. Founded in 1886. A United Way agency. With numerous city-wide YMCA facilities, one overnight camp and hundreds of program sites throughout Greater Houston, we provide character enrichment and fun activities for people of all ages, cultures and abilities. The YMCA Endowment Foundation exists to furnish assistance and support to the charitable and educational undertakings of the YMCA of Greater Houston - both now and into the future. The assets of the Endowment fund are prudently managed for the future, while the interest from the fund is invested in programs and services meeting today's most pressing needs.
