About Virginia Alliance of Ymcas
Virginia Alliance of Ymcas’ recent grantmaking is defined by repeated support for YMCA Power Scholars Academy across multiple Virginia YMCAs, with awards reaching $250,000 to YMCA of Central Virginia and $250,000 to YMCA of South Hampton Roads in 2023. The pattern continues in 2024 and 2025 through grants to YMCA of Greater Richmond, Rappahannock Area YMCA, Piedmont Family YMCA, and Alleghany Highlands YMCA, showing a sustained programmatic commitment rather than isolated awards.

It also supports summer learning and extended-day programming through the Power Scholars Academy line, alongside youth leadership development. Recent awards range from large six-figure grants to smaller program-specific commitments, all directed to Virginia-based YMCAs and one Washington, DC recipient within the same YMCA network.
