Overview

Mission

Founded in 1914, the Young Men's Christian Association of Rye, NY (Rye YMCA or Rye Y), serves the communities of Rye, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Harrison and Port Chester. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Rye YMCA offers children, teens, adults and seniors of all ages and abilities the opportunity to grow and thrive. Our key programs include full-day, part-time and after school child care; summer camp; swim lessons; group exercise classes (including aquatics) and chronic disease management and prevention. Our Y Cares Financial Assistance Program ensures that no one will be turned away from a Y program or activity because they can't pay.

What it reported doing in 2025

Social Responsibility: For 110 years, the Rye Y has been a hub of community life and a catalyst for positive change. Our mission takes us outside the walls of the Y, into schools, senior centers, town halls and houses of worship. We offer members of all ages the opportunity to make a difference through community service. We bring hope to cancer survivors and help at-risk adults face chronic disease head-on. We teach children drowning prevention skills through our free Safety Around Water class. We do all this and more while keeping a powerful promise to the communities we serve: no-one will be turned away from a Y program or activity because they can't pay. We awarded $504,766 in camp, child care, membership and program scholarships to 615 families and individuals We expanded and refreshed our lobby at Locust Ave to increase opportunities to socialization and address the epidemic of loneliness. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CON'T) This spirit of social responsibility infuses every aspect of our work, from the partnerships that foster strong communities to the small group programs that promote health and well-being.

Operating model

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
