What Greater Peoria Family YMCA does
Mission
The mission of the Greater Peoria Family YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Healthy Living | The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, 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 supplemented almost $50,000 of membership dues, to provide people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate in our Healthy Living activities. In addition, we also provided over $498,000 in membership subsidy to over 1,200 seniors to have access to medically based exercise programs. This mission is supported by the revenue generated through membership fees, aquatics, and fitness.

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, and better health and educational achievement. Our YMCA programs, such as Summer Day Camp, School's Day Out, Youth Sports, and Before/Aftercare, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance in the amount of $424,454, which make participation possible for 63% of the young people we engage; over 165 Teen Reach participants, 566 Program participants, and 178 School Age participants. The remaining expenses include wages, benefits, program supplies and field trip expenses. United Way, Illinois Dept. of Human Services, and Child Care Connection provided grants that provided assistance with the above-mentioned expenses. The program revenue was generated through program fees for select programs such as Youth Services, Youth Sports, Before/Aftercare, and Day Camp.

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 2021 to 2022, from $13M to $11M (−13%).
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 3% · 2018 6% · 2019 7% · 2020 27% · 2021 41% · 2022 13% · 2023 10% · 2024 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
26% of GREATER PEORIA FAMILY YMCA’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 held at 3 funders, grant income fell $51k → $48k.
1 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 GREATER PEORIA FAMILY YMCA’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
GREATER PEORIA FAMILY YMCA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
84% 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 GREATER PEORIA FAMILY YMCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 100% · 2019 89% · 2020 67% · 2021 77% · 2022 99% · 2023 76% — growing more concentrated.
“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.

11% of GREATER PEORIA FAMILY YMCA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $36 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.
