The Winderme
re Foundation is proud
to announce
….
Our partnership with the YMCA:
Helping build strong kids, strong families and strong
communities.
Since its formation in 1989, the Windermere Foundation has focused its resources on homelessness related causes. As we have grown larger we realized that it would benefit us all, if we collaborated with a
reputable organization for our first regional partnership. Many national organizations were
considered, but Windermere chose the YMCA because:•Community driven- each site is unique and can adapt to the needs of the community
•Largest non-profit, non-governmental organization serving the needs of kids
•Has been a proven leader for 150 years
•Windermere offices have already been focusing their funds to kid- related causes, especially the YMCA
•Help families, especially kids!
Partnership Goals:
•Provide opportunities for offices to have interaction with families being helped by the
program
•Reduce solicitation by organizations
•Turnkey program especially for newer offices who would like to be part of a larger impact
giving
•Create a larger impact with public and agents
Why after school enrichment and child care? •Nearly 50 % of children in YMCA Child Care come from
families whose annual income is less than $25,000 a year.
•About 40% of children in YMCA Child Care come from
single-parent homes.
•According to the Alliance for Education and the Afterschool Alliance, every dollar invested
in out-of-school programs saves more than $3, as
children are more likely to stay in school and advance to the
next grade, and less likely to get into trouble.
• Choose the YMCA for your Community Service Day project
• Volunteer to teach a class or help with tutoring
• Help plan a seasonal event or party
• Become a board member• Choose to support
financially with your Foundation funds
• Serve as a chaperone on local field trips
• Much, much more!
