FAQ Since you opened the buildings, isn’t the campaign complete? We opened our doors to the public in good faith that the campaign goal would be achieved. It was in everyone’s best interests to open the YMCAs to the community as quickly as possible, but in order to meet our program objectives we need to raise the final $4.5 million, or 10% of the goal. Every dollar pledged or given outright, now goes farther! Both the Kresge Foundation and the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust have made significant challenge grants to our campaign which will match every dollar. However, if the challenge funds are not raised, the entire grant is in jeopardy. Your contribution will allow us to impact lives from infants to seniors in our community and help us reach our goal of serving 1 in 6 in Spokane County. Now, more than ever, we need you to be our partner. How can I get a tile on the exterior of the buildings with my name on it? Tiles may be purchased to benefit the capital campaign. Tiles are available in three sizes for $500, $1000 or $2500. Tiles at the $2500 level are 8”x8,” Tiles at the $1000 level are 8”x4” and tiles at the $500 level are either 2”x8” or 4”x4” (determined by the artist). Pick up a tile brochure at any YMCA facility or click here for a pdf version. How can my name be listed on the donor recognition wall? All donors at the $5,000 level and above will be listed on the donor walls at both the Central and North YM-YW facility. The current donor walls list donors through 1st quarter 2009. All new donors will be included when the temporary walls are replaced once we reach our goal. See your name or company name listed for all to see and be a part of these winning organizations! Are membership dues higher to pay for the capital campaign? No. Capital campaign fundraising pays for campaign expenses and the new facilities. Our new “Membership for All” income-based membership rates allow us to better serve the community, especially those who need us most. The new facilities enable us to better meet our mission: “To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” |
