As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Youth development: our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our ymca programs, such as afterschool enrichment, day camps, and recreation programs in public housing communities, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. We provide subsidies and direct financial assistance making participation possible for 58 percent of the young people we engage. In 2024, we involved 15,686 youth under age 18. In 2024, we provided $130,078 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, 29,664 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2024, we provided $129,731 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

We also believe that children need opportunities to build confidence, develop teamwork skills and have fun. That's why we provide sports, swimming and recreation programs for children of all ages as well as families. At the y, everyone plays, with no try-outs or pre-determined skill levels. We give children the opportunity to learn new skills, try new activities, and stay active. Over 480 people volunteer as coaches and instructors, providing positive adult role models for youth. In 2024, 3,899 youth participated in sports activities at the y. In 2024, we provided $8,451 in financial assistance to people who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

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 2020 to 2021, from $13M to $15M (+10%).
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: 2022 11%. 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 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $186k → $646k.
8 of 32 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.
From the IRS filings of CENTRAL COAST YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
CENTRAL COAST YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
79% 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 CENTRAL COAST YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 38% · 2019 38% · 2020 28% · 2021 36% · 2022 22% · 2023 23% — 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
45% of CENTRAL COAST YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
77% of CENTRAL COAST YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
