Overview

Mission

To strengthen community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

What it reported doing in 2025

Membership - We are a cause driven non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening our communities in spirit, mind and body. We focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility as well. YMCA membership is available to all regardless of financial limitations. Payment can be arranged using a sliding fee scale.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 64% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
