Overview

Mission

The mission of the YMCA is to put christian principles into practice through programs that build health spirit, mind, and body for all.

What it reported doing in 2023

Child care - our ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for preschool and school age children drawing on diverse members of the community. We provide both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs. Our summer and holiday break day camp program continues the services throughout the year. Woven into the fabric of the ymca mission is a commitment to strengthening families. Ymca child care programs relieve the burden of balancing work and family and make it possible for parents of children in our care to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, developmentally sound environment. The ymca provides tuition assistance for child care services. We also provide a variety of activities that emphasize parent education and help parents learn more about how to raise healthy, happy children who develop self esteem and moral ethical values.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 80% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
