What it reported doing in 2025

Healthy living: our y provides programs and services to enable people of all ages to develop their full potential in spirit, mind, and body. The y provides healthy living coaches to help people set and achieve their personal health and well-being goals. The y also offers chronic disease prevention and management programs to help people regain and/or reclaim their health. Healthy living programs include youth sports, swimming lessons, group exercise classes, aquatics programs, and chronic disease prevention and management programs such as blood pressure self-monitoring and rock steady boxing (for individuals with parkinson's). Financial assistance is made available so that participation at the y is accessible for anyone in the community. In 2025, we served more than 15,000 people and provided more than $577,000 in membership support for individuals and families with financial 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 87% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
