As a cause-driven organization we seek to work with strategic partners to make a difference in addressing critical social issues facing our community. To better define these social issues, we convened a series of community forums which have led to the formation of new and strengthened partnerships including consortia of leaders in our community from healthcare, education, & social services. Using a collective impact approach, these groups are planning & implementing initiatives to enhance the quality of life in our community. Two significant initiatives are 1. Making water the beverage of choice to combat obesity and 2. Addressing the lack of transportation for low-income families. We are excited about the opportunities this effort affords us in strengthening our community.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $17M to $20M (+17%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
32% of ATTLEBORO YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $55k → $547k.
8 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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: $56k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Greater Attleborotaunton Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money ATTLEBORO YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION raised.
From the IRS filings of ATTLEBORO YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 funders by total. 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

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
83% 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 ATTLEBORO YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 46% · 2019 43% · 2020 30% · 2021 36% · 2022 47% · 2023 42% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
