Overview

Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The Glacial Community YMCA strengthens communities by building strong kids, strong families, and strong relationships through enriching programs, recreational opportunities, supportive networks, and a sense of belonging. We are committed to nurturing spirit, mind, and body well-being by creating spaces where individuals of all ages can grow in achievement, connection, confidence, and purpose. The YMCA welcomes and serves everyone regardless of age, race, sex, faith, ethnicity, ability, or religion. Founded and led by volunteers, we believe in the power of service and community leadership to create meaningful impact. Guided by our commitment to being for all, the Glacial Community YMCA provides financial assistance through our Annual Campaign Scholarship program to ensure access to memberships and programs for those who would otherwise be unable to participate.

What it reported doing in 2025

Healthy Living: The Glacial Community YMCA supports healthy living by creating opportunities for individuals and families of all ages and abilities to strengthen spirit, mind, and body through wellness, connection, and active lifestyles. Through inclusive programs, community partnerships, and accessible wellness opportunities, the YMCA helps individuals build healthy habits, reduce isolation, manage stress, and improve overall well-being. In 2025, 118,987 members and guests participated in group exercise classes offered in studios and pools across more than 100 class formats ranging from chair yoga and aqua joint movement to cardio boxing and high-intensity interval training. Through partnerships with 24 local employers, 1,156 members received wellness-based membership support, helping reduce barriers to participation while promoting healthier workplaces and communities. The YMCA also partnered with local organizations, including Aurora Hospital, to provide specialized wellness opportunities such as Parkinson's-focused programming and educational wellness presentations. The YMCA remains committed to supporting healthy aging and social connection for older adults. In 2025, more than 4,700 seniors accessed YMCA memberships at no cost through partnerships with Medicare insurance providers, while 7,745 members and participants over the age of 62 engaged in YMCA programs, wellness opportunities, and social activities designed to reduce isolation and support active living.

Adaptive sports, fitness, and aquatics programs served 250 participants through inclusive opportunities including softball, basketball, swimming, volleyball, bocce ball, fitness classes, and individualized swim instruction designed for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. The YMCA also expanded its focus on mental and emotional well-being through Healthy Minds initiatives, including a community Mental Health Fair and programs centered on therapeutic painting, stress management, and social connection, helping participants strengthen emotional resilience alongside physical wellness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
