Capital Campaign

Building a Better Future — Together

For more than 165 years, the YMCA of East Tennessee has been building community, character, and connection. As our community grows, so must our capacity to serve.

The Capital Campaign is your opportunity to invest in the future of the Y — funding new facilities, modern spaces, and program expansions that will impact generations to come.

with safe, modern environments that expand outreach and programming.
