Overview

Mission

To put christian principles into practice that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

What it reported doing in 2025

Child care - the central focus of all ymca child care programs is to foster growth and development, not only in children but also in their parents and families. These educational programs help kids develop moral and ethical behavior, self-esteem, and leadership. Parents play an important role in policy and program decisions. In many instances, ymca child care allows parents of the children in these programs to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, supportive environment. For parents who cannot afford the full fee, care is provided on a below-cost basis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
