Programs
The dubuque y is committed to nurturing the potential of every child. In 2025, we operated 4 licensed childcare sites, serving 200 children in our licensed childcare programs which include 1 licensed childcare sites and 3 before and after school sites. In addition to our before and after school care, our collaboration with the dubuque community school district included our participation in the state of iowa voluntary 4 program, offering free structured educational programming from licensed educators to area four year olds. We reached another 3,000 area children through programs including our summer day and horse camps, swim lessons, youth sports, gymnastics, competitive swim team, basketball and volleyball leagues, as well as the healthy living and wellness programs available to all y members. As with all of our programming, every youth program is made available to all community members through our scholarship and financial assistance programs.

As a result, over 15,000 people in our area communities 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 chronic disease and obesity, families wrestle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. As with everything we offer, our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. Financial assistance, funded primarily through our annual campaign, is offered to all who may not be able to participate.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.7M to $8.1M (+73%).
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 4% · 2019 2% · 2020 11% · 2021 19% · 2022 24% · 2023 12% · 2024 2% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
37% of DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $56k → $187k.
6 of 27 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.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.3M from 6 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States). These are real filings, and they are not money DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y raised.
From the IRS filings of DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y’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
DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 35% 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
30% 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 DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 45% · 2019 62% · 2020 40% · 2021 36% · 2022 39% · 2023 54% — 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
47% of DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
59% of DUBUQUE COMMUNITY Y's grant income comes from Iowa funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $251k 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.
