The 2008 'Kids to Camp' campaign to raise $23,000 is designed to help low-income families in our community send their child to camp this summer. The need is greater than ever, and we expect to help more than 200 kids. The campaign is designed to help these families make a difference for a child between a lonely, isolated summer and a summer filled with fun and wholesome activities that build character and promote positive values. We hope we can count on you to help needy community kids attend camp this summer. Your gift - whatever amount you can share - will help.

Financial Assistance Program
Thank you for making our Financial Assistance program possible - so that no one who qualifies is ever turned away from YMCA programs and services because of the inability to pay.
In 2008, we gave away over $500,000 in Financial Assistance. Nearly 60% of it was for Youth and Teens to enjoy educational opportunities and summer camp. Of the 522 families and 879 individuals served, more than 70% had income level UNDER $20,000 per year!
The YMCA depends on contributed support to maintain its mission-driven programs. On behalf of all the youth and families we served this past year, thank you for your generous support.

Endowments can be made by either an outright gift of cash or other property, or through the use of planned giving techniques. Planned giving involves including the Central Bucks Family YMCA in your overall financial and estate plan. This can often lead to substantial benefits to both the donor and the Y, including reducing or eliminating income, estate, capital gains, and gift taxes. There are many different types of planned gifts - some offer an income stream to you for life, others may help you control the method or timing in which assets are passed to your heirs. Check with your tax or legal advisor to find out which one might be right for you.
The endowment fund is important because:
- It generates a stable flow of charitable income to secure Y programs for future generations
- It promotes long-term planning to help maintain vital YMCA programs
- It protects principal amounts, even during economic fluctuations
