What it reported doing in 2025

Social responsibility at the grant county family ymca, social responsibility means strengthening the foundations of our community by bringing people together, addressing community needs, and ensuring opportunities remain accessible to all. We continue to remove financial barriers that prevent individuals and families from participating in programs that improve health, well-being, and quality of life. During 2025, the ymca provided 401,940 in financial assistance and subsidized services through membership assistance, childcare support, program scholarships, corporate wellness partnerships, and other community support initiatives. These resources help ensure that no individual or family is excluded from ymca programs because of financial circumstances. Beyond direct assistance, the ymca has emerged as a key community partner and convener. Throughout the year, we expanded relationships with local schools, municipalities, businesses, churches, and nonprofit organizations to increase our collective impact. Our partnership with youth for christ created additional opportunities for teen engagement and mentorship, while collaborations with school districts expanded critical youth development and water safety programming. Community engagement also reached new levels through events that brought residents together and fostered civic pride. Programs such as the daddy daughter dance, corporate challenge, community wellness initiatives, and numerous special events experienced some of the highest participation levels in ymca recent history, creating opportunities for connection, belonging, and community celebration. As our impact continues to grow, so does our vision for the future. During the past year, the ymca advanced plans for a second facility in gas city that will expand access to ymca programs and services throughout grant county. Scheduled to open by june 1, 2027, the new facility is projected to increase ymca membership by approximately 1,170 membership units while significantly expanding opportunities for youth development, healthy living, and community engagement across the region. The ymca has become a trusted voice in conversations involving community development, health, youth services, and quality-of-life initiatives. By working alongside local governments, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and philanthropic partners, we are helping create a stronger, healthier, and more connected grant county. Together, we are building more than programs and facilitieswe are building a community where every person has the opportunity to belong, contribute, and thrive.
