Overview

Mission

Ywca of riverside county strives to develop programs that improve the quality of life for women and their families throughout riverside county.

What it reported doing in 2015

Health & fitness: the childbirth preparation course offered by the ywca is a one-day class available to all members of the community, providing childbirth education in a number of areas. Our course is unique because we address all those "other" things that no one wants to tell you. We also make the course very interactive, having you get on the floor and practice different positions, breathing techniques and massage. You will walk away from this class knowing all you need to know to get through your labor and delivery. At the ywca, our goal is to have you and your partner walk away from this course feeling informed and empowered to make the choices you need to make for the safe, healthy delivery of your child.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 61% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
