Overview

Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

What it reported doing in 2025

Health and well being for all. At a time when 17% of all children and 35% of adults are classified as obese, an organization like the hastings ymca, which reached 1/3 of our population directly and many more indirectly, is extremely important for the community. In an area of the state that boasts the highest rate of childhood obesity, transforming a culture of well being that focuses on the holistic development of spirit, body, and mind is beneficial for the community. Men, women, and children of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels improve health and well being at the hastings ymca. We provide subsidized access to low income children and families to overcome economic barriers for participations. The hastings ymca is the community center that welcomes everyone in our community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
