Overview

Mission

The ymca is a community-serving organization that promotes values, leadership development, service-learning, community interaction, healthy life choices, and active lifestyles. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2025

In the area of social responsibility, the family ymca's child development and enrichment programs again in 2025 provided several programs that are sensitive to the individual needs of children and age-appropriate learning experiences that help each child develop to his or her fullest potential. The number of children in our afterschool programs returned to normal levels this year. We provide services that support our goals, such as engaging group games where honesty and fair play are reinforced and new projects that let them explore their creativity. We continue to meet the communities identified need for affordable childcare and enriching program opportunities for children. No child is turned away for the inability to pay. 850 children were served this year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
