WCF and YMCA Partner to Impact our Community

WCF Impact Grant Recipient: YMCA Veterans Connect Program


The Veterans Connect program at Countryside YMCA offers free services designed to support the well-being of veterans. With strong community support and increasing awareness, the program has grown significantly, now serving 110 local veterans and making a meaningful impact across Warren County.

"I truly view the WCF as a great partner to our Y. The investment made in impact grants over the past couple of years has allowed us to grow our Veterans Connect program and provide greater service to those that have served and defended our nation. The funding from the WCF has allowed us to positively impact veterans in our county mentally and physically, and the investment allows us to strategically plan for growth and service to more veterans as awareness of the program grows."  



~ Matt Bruns, Chief Development Officer, Countryside YMCA 

Countryside YMCA Financial Endowment Fund at WCF


WCF is building on 25 years in supporting the Countryside YMCA through their Endowment Fund. This partnership continues to grow as the YMCA and WCF are collaborating with Justin Conger of Conger Construction and the REAL Impact Fund. Through a multi-year gift commitment to this Endowment, the REAL Impact Fund will help continue to make the YMCA programs and services accessible ‘for all’ with low or no-cost programs and financial assistance.

“The Countryside YMCA has proudly partnered with the Warren County Foundation for over 25 years. Our shared commitment to serving the community and addressing the needs of our friends and neighbors drives us forward. We are excited to refine the purpose of our fund further, aiming to make an even greater impact on the lives of those we serve.”

~ Chris Johnson, CEO, Countryside YMCA
