In 2002, the YMCA of Yonkers began a program to help “promote the availability of the C” to Young Men’s Christian Associations in the northeastern United States. The initiative was expanded in 2003 to assist YMCAs across the country in “lifting up the C.” In 2007, The C Project became a 501 (C) 3 not-for profit Incorporation.  The C Project provides resources, relationships, partnerships, and programs, including:

- A YMCA edition of My Utmost for His Highest
- The Morning Watch booklet by YMCA leader John R. Mott
- The Community Links Program: An initiative linking the resources of local churches and Christian organizations to local YMCAs
