Overview

Mission

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. The Attleboro Norton YMCA is a charitable organization dedicated to the physical, mental and spiritual development of all. It fosters personal growth through quality programs and services provided in a positive environment by committed staff and volunteers. The Attleboro Norton YMCA is a designated 501-C3 non-profit charitable organization. Our History. The intent of this program is to support those seniors who struggle to have hot evening meals due to financial constraints, mobility constraints, health issues, and transportation issues. Meals are available on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Register for a curbside pickup time slot or for at-home delivery.

What it reported doing in 2024

Social responsibility - the attleboro ymca, its board of directors & its leadership staff are executing an ambitious strategic plan to foster real change in the communities we serve. As a cause-driven organization we seek to work with strategic partners to make a difference in addressing critical social issues facing our community. To better define these social issues, we convened a series of community forums which have led to the formation of new and strengthened partnerships including consortia of leaders in our community from healthcare, education, & social services. Using a collective impact approach, these groups are planning & implementing initiatives to enhance the quality of life in our community. Two significant initiatives are 1. Making water the beverage of choice to combat obesity and 2. Addressing the lack of transportation for low-income families. We are excited about the opportunities this effort affords us in strengthening our community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filed totals do not add up.
