Overview

Mission

The YMCA of Medford is a charitable, community service organization that includes men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We are dedicated to strengthening communities by focusing on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. All persons are welcome at our YMCA, regardless of their ability to pay. Our YMCA is founded and led by volunteers from our community; volunteers also serve as mentors, coaches, program leaders, instructors and more.

What it reported doing in 2025

Healthy Living for Youth, Adults, Seniors and Families - Our YMCA is committed to health and well-being by bringing families closer together, encouraging good health, and fostering connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, many people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are designed to help people create realistic goals for self-improvement and emphasize disease prevention through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management and health education. We provide financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 69% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
