We believe that last personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors – and that begins with having the full support of our members and our community.
Each year, our Y gives more in financial assistance then we receive through charitable donations. This means that each year we face a financial gap. Last year, our fiscal year shortage was over $95,000.
As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of individuals and business in Bismarck-Mandan to keep offering the programs and resources that matter to our community. We work hard every day to make sure everyone is welcome at the Y!

Over 164 kids received a scholarship to experience the Y through Summer Day Camp in 2012. It was the opportunity to discover the bold outdoors in a fun and safe environment.
