What Itasca County Family YMCA Inc does
Mission
The itasca county family ymca (ymca) is a charitable, community service organization founded in 1979 with a mission to strengthen ourselves, families and communities by promoting growth in spirit, mind and body. The ymca includes men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, races and religions and is dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We put christian principles into practice through programs that promote youth development, healthy lifestyles, strong values, leadership development, community interaction, and international understating. All persons are welcome at our ymca, regardless of their ability to pay. Our ymca is founded and led by volunteers from our community. Our volunteers serve as mentors, coaches, program leaders, instructors and policy makers.

Programs
Youth developmentour ymca is committed to cultivating the potential of every child and teen who comes through our doors. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That is why we help young people develop the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and prolonged educational achievement. Our ymca programs encompass all ages including the weefolksgarten childcare, school-age care, and youth sports programs. All our programming offers a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Youth programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. At the ymca we never turn away any individual for an inability to pay and offer assistance to any youth or family who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation. Putting our children and our community first has always been and will remain at the forefront of our mission. In 2024, the ymca provided $120,149 in direct childcare and school-age care financial assistance.

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 2022 to 2023, from $11M to $12M (+16%).
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 3% · 2019 2% · 2020 1% · 2021 16% · 2022 23% · 2023 11% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
20% of ITASCA COUNTY FAMILY YMCA INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $147k 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.
