Welcome to the YMCA Foundation of Middle Tennessee

 We're glad you're here, and we recognize that you wouldn't be here unless you had an interest in the YMCA of Middle Tennessee.

A not-for-profit, charitable organization, the YMCA's heritage is rich -- dating back to 1875. Today, we reach the lives of more than 260,000 neighbors throughout Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky. With 30 centers and 343 program locations serving a 12-county area, the Y helps people from all walks of life to grow in spirit, mind and body.

The Foundation was formed in 1968 for the purpose of holding and investing endowment funds for the YMCA, and for investing earnings on those funds in YMCA programs, services and facilities. The Foundation supports current YMCA programs and is creating a legacy to ensure that the Y will continue to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities for generations to come.

We are blessed with wonderful volunteer leadership on our YMCA Foundation Board of Directors. This group of outstanding leaders works to help the Foundation grow and increase its effectiveness. Thank you for visiting our website. I hope that you will consider investing in the future of our community through the YMCA Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Sincerely,
Bill Wilson signature

A Melody From the Heart

Kim Sowell (2nd from left) was born with congenital heart disease. A few years ago during an annual checkup, her cardiologist recommended that she become more fit if she wanted her “heart to last” as her body matured. The news served as a catalyst, inspiring the entire Sowell family from a sedentary lifestyle to one focused on wellness, and leading them to the Putnam County Family YMCA in Cookeville.
