Overview
Mission
The YMCA puts Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. In the early 1970’s, the need for a new building became obvious. With continual growth in interest and participation, the facilities of the 60-year-old building became inadequate. So another fund-raising campaign was begun. Thanks to the strong support from Waynesboro and the surrounding areas, over $1 million was raised and a new YMCA was built on East Main Street. The stunning new facilities included a six-lane Olympic-style swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, lounge, weight-lifting room, meeting and conference rooms, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and an outdoor play area. The Y membership and facilities have grown steadily since moving to the new location. In 1979, two racquetbal.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
