Mission
THE YMCA FOUNDATION OF SOUTH PALM BEACH COUNTY WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOURCE OF FUNDING, ALLOWING THE YMCA TO MEET CRITICAL COMMUNITY NEEDS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. EARNINGS FROM THE FUND SUPPORT EXISTING PROGRAM AREAS, PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY IN DEVELOPING PROGRAMS TO RESPOND TO CHANGING COMMUNITY NEEDS FUND IMPROVEMENTS TO KEEP BUILDINGS UP TO CODE, SAFE AND WELCOMING; AND PROVIDE A SAFETY NET IN TIMES OF CRISIS OR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. AS THE NATION'S LEADING NONPROFIT FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHY LIVING, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THE Y MUST ENSURE IT CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE MEANINGFUL AND ENDURING COMMUNITY IMPACT NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE. RAPID CHANGES TO A LOCAL ECONOMY MAKE IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE STABILITY OF THE Y. LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING IS A STEWARDSHIP OBLIGATION OF THE LEADERS WHO WERE ELECTED OR HIRED TO MAKE THEIR Y STRONGER DURING THEIR TERM OF INVOLVEMENT.
