What it reported doing in 2024

Healthy living - the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, more than 12,500 individuals and family members in our county are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles work/life balance, social isolation, and search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. The y is a founding non-profit, cause driven organization dedicated to strengthening our community in spirit, mind and body. Social responsibility - our ymca believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 30 years. Y programs, such as our year round foods program which distributed up to 1,200 lunches each weekday in the summer, the live strong cancer survivors and parkinson programs, and youth in government are a few examples of how we deliver resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. Our annual campaign raised more than $500,000 to ensure that financial assistance is available to all, special programming is provided to the entire community and program costs remain at affordable levels. Approximately 1,600 (1/3) of all ymca members receive fee assistance. The door county ymca remains steadfast in its commitment to engage members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive.

Operating model

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
