YMCA Foundation of Greater Indianapolis
The YMCA Foundation of Greater Indianapolis is a U.S. nonprofit organization, established in 1966, to support the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis through endowment gifts. The foundation's primary role is to manage its assets effectively, generating investment income that supports various YMCA programs and initiatives across the Indianapolis area.
History
The Indianapolis YMCA, part of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, was founded in 1854 by a group of evangelical Protestants. Over the years, the organization evolved to serve broader community needs beyond its religious roots, focusing on social, educational, and recreational activities. The YMCA Foundation was established nearly a century later to further enhance this mission by building and sustaining resources for the local YMCA programs.
Purpose and Activities
The foundation's primary purpose is to receive and manage endowments to support the activities of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. Its assets, which currently amount to approximately $18 million, are used to generate grants that fund various YMCA initiatives. These initiatives include programs aimed at youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, reflecting the YMCA's mission to apply Christian principles through community service.
Impact
Through its financial support, the YMCA Foundation of Greater Indianapolis plays a crucial role in enabling the local YMCA to serve the community more effectively. The YMCA serves over 121,000 individuals annually, offering programs such as early childhood education, swim lessons, youth sports, and social services. The foundation's support helps ensure that these programs remain accessible and impactful across Indianapolis.
Financial Overview
While specific financial details about the foundation itself are not widely available, it is known that its efforts contribute to the broader financial structure of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. The YMCA's annual revenue is approximately $60 million, with 80% coming from membership fees, 5% from investment income, and 15% from grants and donations. This financial mix allows the organization to maintain a strong presence in the local community.

Meet Gary, our Wellness Director at the Avondale Meadows YMCA, who's been dedicated to Cycle-a-Thon for 9 years! This year, the event is extra special for him. "9 years of pedaling with a purpose, I ride not just to support my YMCA, but to support my community. This year's Cycle-a-Thon is especially meaningful because we're riding for the Diabetes Prevention Program. A cause that hits close to home for me. As a diabetic, I know firsthand the power of education and support in managing and preventing this disease. If 45 minutes on a bike can help even one person access this life-changing program, then every pedal is enough for me." (fb)
