Overview

Mission

BLAIR REGIONAL YMCA is a non-profit association committed to our mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Guided by the principles of our Mission, we believe that a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed when a person contributes to the cost of their YMCA involvement. It is with this in mind that we recommend a sliding fee scale. The BLAIR REGIONAL YMCA Scholarship Program** provides a sliding fee scale designed for those whose gross annual income is less than $50,000. The participant’s contribution toward membership cost is based on total household income and the number of dependents in the household. All membership categories are subject to a $42.00 Association Fee due at the time of enrollment.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our ymca programs offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Our ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for preschool and school age children drawing on diverse members of the community. We provide both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs. Woven into the fabric of the ymca mission is a commitment to strengthening families. Ymca childcare programs relieve the burden of balancing work and family and make it possible for parents to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, developmentally sound environment. Youth development programs are offered to give kids good role models to help them develop self-esteem and good values, including cooperation, respect, good citizenship, and a strong work ethic. Our programs help to build healthy relationships with peers and members of community at large. The programs create an atmosphere in which leadership skills and an ethic of service can grow and flourish. Offerings of the ymca include summer day camps and healthy kids day. Scholarships and assistance are provided to those in need.

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.

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 some filed totals do not add up.
