Programs
Youth development - we bring our core values of respect, honesty, caring and responsibility to the children in our care by providing a welcoming environment in which parents and children can engage in positive activities that help build the mind, body and spirit. Through our summer camps, aquatics, enrichment, childcare and day care programs we strive to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors that help guide and support our children to develop life skills that help them in their future.
$4,733,462 spent61% of program spendingHealthy living - we served over 300 families made up of children under the age of 18 and seniors age 60 or older. We served an estimated 50,000 pounds of food during this time. We estimate we distributed 302,000 pounds of food at our monthly distributions, with an average of 400 families/cars a month. By extending health care to community settings, we improve the health of communities and help reduce health care costs for individuals, employers, and insurers. Including everyone in our community is paramount to our cause, as such we offer programs specifically designed for older adults. We began working with the american red cross to hold blood drives which resulted in 12 blood drives that collected enough blood to save more than 1,500 lives. To help families and individuals with food insecurities, we continue to be a food distribution site for the great bergen area and have provided more than 1,800,000 meals to over 110,000 families and individuals. This program will continue for the forseeable future.

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 $23M (+70%).
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 11% · 2018 7% · 2019 8% · 2020 26% · 2021 36% · 2022 7% · 2023 10% · 2024 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
14% of MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $51k → $158k.
3 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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: $79k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Community Food Bank Of New Jersey Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA raised.
From the IRS filings of MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 27 funders by total. 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
MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
29% 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 MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 69% · 2019 65% · 2020 49% · 2021 99% · 2022 32% · 2023 32% — 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
29% of MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
66% of MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA's grant income comes from New Jersey funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $34k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
Against its field
MEADOWLANDS AREA YMCA's funding base is broadening — from 3 funders to 13 as grant income climbed.
