Programs
Membership Program For over 117 years the Charles City Family YMCA has provided programs and services to individuals of all ages in the Charles City and Floyd County area. The YMCA operates year-round programming to accommodate the needs of the community. The YMCA encourages volunteer involvement and community input through the volunteer Board of Directors. The Charles City Family YMCA, as a human service organization, meets the needs of the community and is open to people of all ages, races, religions, and income levels. YMCA programs nurture the healthy development of children, encourage positive behavior with teens, and strengthen families - all of which result in our community and neighborhoods being safe and healthy places to live, work, and play. Programs are designed to meet the health and social service needs of the children, adults, and families who participate. All programs emphasize the development of positive values, encouraging moral and ethical behavior based on Christian principles.
Y's Guy's After School Child Care & Summer Day Camp The YMCA Child Care and Summer Day Camp programs are safe, affordable and convenient. Educational programs teach kids positive values and develop self-esteem and leadership skills. Parent involvement is combined with an interactive and diverse curriculum to create a supportive environment for families. Collaborations with local schools insure that YMCA Child Care is accessible to all kids. Core program activities include after school care for school-aged children, vacation camps, summer childcare, day camps, tutorial programs, and special events.
YMCA Youth Sports YMCA youth sports programs focus on full and equal participation as every child plays in every game. Cooperation, teamwork, and skill development are key components of YMCA youth sports programs. These goals are developed through skill clinics and league play for kids aged pre-K through Middle School. Core programs include leagues, tournaments, and clinics in basketball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, tae kwon do, tumbling, roller-skating, tackle football, and flag-football.

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 2024 to 2025, from $1.1M to $1.5M (+34%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 17% · 2021 26% · 2022 20% · 2023 0% · 2024 3% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 FAMILY YMCA OF CHARLES CITY’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
FAMILY YMCA OF CHARLES CITY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
53% 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 FAMILY YMCA OF CHARLES CITY.
“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.
Where its funders are
53% of FAMILY YMCA OF CHARLES CITY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $23k that is directly attributable, 91% of it comes from funders outside Iowa, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
