The organization stewards several named funds that reflect the legacy, leadership, and generosity of individuals who have shaped its mission over time. These funds honor: 

​

• Charles H. Bolte

• Charles F. MacLean

• George A. Hall

• Grace Reid Nash

• William P Epke

• Mark Rutkowski

These funds are designated resources by the Board of Directors, named in recognition of these individuals. Each honorary named fund is aligned with those individuals personal and professional mission-driven priorities including: YMCA camp scholarships, New York State YMCA Youth and Government, volunteer leadership programs, social responsibility and the furtherance of YMCAs' work to serve families and communities.

 

The Board of Directors exercises discretion in allocating these funds, directing support where it is most needed to advance the organization’s mission to support Ys and respond to opportunities and challenges. While the names of the funds honor the history of the individuals contributions to serve New Yorkers, all unrestricted funds ensure flexibility and responsible stewardship.
