Our ymca is founded and led by volunteers from our community; volunteers also serve as coaches, program leaders, and instructors
What it reported doing in 2025
The huntington ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for preschool and school age children drawing on a wide variety of citizens in our community. We provide both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs (single parent, grandparent, adoptive parents and two parent families). The huntington ymca's child care and after school mission is a commitment to strengthen families. Our ymca child care and after school programs relieve the burden of balancing work and family and make it possible for parents of children in our care to remain employed, attend job training programs, return to school, or attend vocational school knowing that their children are in a safe, and developmentally sound environment. Over seventy percent of the huntington ymca's child care/after school program enrollment participants have low to moderate income levels.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 60% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
