Annual Fund Drive
This annual event raises money to allow the expansion and enrichment of current programs, staff training, underwrite program equipment, and provides for Camp’s greatest budgetary needs, which includes Camperships, our financial assistance program.
Endowment Fund
The Camp Manito-wish YMCA Endowment Fund is applied to a variety of worthy Manito-wish causes, from the greatest needs and camper financial need to facility maintenance, programming, and staffing needs.
Gifts of $10,000 or more to the Manito-wish Endowment Fund qualify as a named gift. These gifts provide a lasting and very fitting recognition for you or someone special to you.
The Board of Directors of Camp Manito-wish YMCA has overall responsibility for managing these funds, including preservation, growth, and use. Investment of these gifts are held at a brokerage firm and overseen by the Investment Committee of the Board.
