YMCA of Greater Waukesha County

Overview

Mission

To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The Y is proud to work with several insurance programs that offer discounts, reimbursements or even free memberships to their subscribers to support you on your journey to become healthier. Each program that is offered is different, and who is covered may vary. It is highly recommended that you contact the number on your insurance card to see what specific benefits your insurance program offers. If your program is listed, please come into the Y and bring your insurance card with you. Our staff will help you get the forms filled out and walk you through the process of getting set up in your program.

Operating model

Revenue model

Other-operating. 75% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
