About

UYM Charities

Founded in 1980, UYM Charities is a private, governmentally chartered, non-denominational organization that honors and accepts all faiths. Rooted in principles of inclusivity, spiritual care, and service, we provide essential support and guidance to vulnerable populations while cultivating a holistic approach to community well-being. Our commitment to inclusivity and understanding drives our initiatives, ensuring that we respect and embrace the diverse beliefs and backgrounds of those we serve.

Our CORE Initiatives

At UYM Charities, our work is centered around two core initiatives that drive our mission forward.

Aging Well

Rooted in a commitment to holistic care and equity, this initiative provides financial support to older adults seeking integrative health services. By expanding access to modalities like acupuncture, massage, energy healing, and spiritual counseling, we promote dignity, wellness, and connection in later life.

EcoDialogues

An initiative rooted in ecological stewardship, spiritual care, and cross-cultural understanding, EcoDialogues creates inclusive spaces for transformative conversations, leadership growth, and community engagement—fostering ecological awareness and deeper human connection across all sectors.
