What Barren County Family YMCA INC does
Mission
The barren county family ymca is a charitable, social service organization dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With a mission to put christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all, our impact is proven when a person makes a healthy choice, when a ymca coach inspires a child and when our community comes together for the common good of all. Ymca programs focus on four core character values-caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We serve men, women, and children of all ages, races, abilities, incomes, and religions. Everyone is welcome at our ymca, regardless of their ability to pay. The ymca is founded and led by volunteers that guide us in identifying needs within our community and help form strategies to respond so that the entire community benefits from our efforts.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.1M to $5.6M (+170%).
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: 2019 0% · 2020 17% · 2021 30% · 2022 79% · 2023 27% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $58k → $21k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Barren County Family YMCA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 Barren County Family YMCA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 87% · 2020 57% · 2021 100% · 2022 74% · 2023 49% — 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
40% of Barren County Family YMCA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
Barren County Family YMCA INC draws 52% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
