What it reported doing in 2025
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 wellness, outdoor recreation, fun, and shared interests. This is accomplished through programs like our group exercise classes, the y's diabetes prevention programs, parkinson's cycling and support groups, and healthy kids day. As a result, more than 23,000 people in our community have access to the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with a mental health and obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths and backgrounds.
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 99% 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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
