The YMCA of Honolulu has long envisioned a reimagined Nuʻuanu YMCA serving as an inclusive, welcoming space where youth, kūpuna, families, and individuals can connect, stay active, build resilience, and thrive.
A place that not only serves people within its walls, but also acts as a central hub, expanding outreach into surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
Thanks to the support of generous donors and community partners, that vision is beginning to take shape.
Our journey begins with foundational and transformational gifts that allow us to start the planning process and to engage the partners, donors, and community members who will help bring this vision to life.
This webpage will be updated throughout our journey and will recognize the generous donors who are leading the way.
The Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation
We are honored to announce a transformative $5 million gift from The Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, the largest single private contribution in our YMCA of Honolulu’s history. This generous gift serves as the cornerstone of our vision to reimagine and rebuild the Nuʻuanu YMCA as a modern community hub that addresses some of Honolulu’s most pressing needs.
