Outcome
FDA has worked with the Greater Springfield YMCA since the early 1990s on both foundation grants programs and capital campaigns. In that time, we have raised between $3.5 million to $4 million for the YMCA, primarily for capital needs.
In 2004, FDA provided grant-writing services to the Greater Springfield YMCA for the development of a full-service branch facility in nearby Wilbraham. With a total goal of $6.5 million, our grant-writing efforts alone raised more than $1.4 million.
Testimonial
I have worked with Financial Development Agency for over 20 years at two different YMCA's. Through two major capital campaigns and an on-going grant writing program we raised millions of dollars to improve the lives of inner-city children.
