There are programs at our YMCA for all ages, abilities, and level of fitness. The YMCA has identified the growing national obesity rates in this country as a critical social issue that must be addressed and our health and well-being programs are designed to help people achieve wholeness in their life. YMCA programs promote interaction, teamwork, and development of moral and ethical behavior, social skills and self-esteem.

They provide challenges and promote mental development, physical well-being, social growth, and self-respect. They benefit by becoming aware of the value of cooperation and gain confidence in the programs. The aquatics program not only helps youth and toddlers develop their physical skills, but it also provides opportunities for the entire family to share time in the pool to appreciate one another and promote intergenerational relationships. Our special needs camp provides opportunities for kids to experience activities they otherwise would not be able to and allows them to just be themselves.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $18M to $20M (+13%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 2% · 2021 17% · 2022 21% · 2023 8% · 2024 15% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $39k → $289k.
5 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.2M from 4 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Northeastern South Dakota Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Aberdeen Family YMCA raised.
From the IRS filings of Aberdeen Family YMCA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Aberdeen Family YMCA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
78% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Aberdeen Family YMCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 42% · 2019 57% · 2020 41% · 2021 39% · 2022 38% · 2023 37% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
67% of Aberdeen Family YMCA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Aberdeen Family YMCA draws 58% of its grant income from funders outside South Dakota, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $358k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
