Campers took art, dance and mucic lessons, went on nature hikes, swam in local lakes and much more. Our community partners played a key role in making this a great summer. These camps give us a great opportunity to incorporate our core-character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility into the curriculum. We also expand our enrichment time this year to help campers achieve grade level goal learning in all areas of study through experiences that have had a strong impact to get many of our children back on track in their learning as well as their social and emotional skills by being able to ineract with others in the programs.

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 2019 to 2020, from $9.3M to $16M (+75%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% 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 Jackson YMCA Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 56% · 2018 46% · 2019 50% · 2020 57% · 2021 56% · 2022 49% · 2023 70% — growing more concentrated.
