Programs
Youth developmentour ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids have great potential and 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, better health and educational achievement. Our ymca programs, such as aquatics, enrichment classes, dance, sports, gymnastics, nationally accredited early education, after school and summer day camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive and physical growth. In 2025, we provided $825,678 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 60 years. Since 1998 the y has been operating an adventure-based program for teens that have difficulty making healthy choices and navigating their lives successfully at little or no cost to the participant. The y also invests significant time and resources to develop community partnerships and programs that help to prevent and manage chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, parkinson's and cardiopulmonary disorders for many of the most fragile people living in our community. We provide training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2025 we engaged over 100 ymca members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive. In 2025, we provided $7,892 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

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 2018 to 2019, from $16M to $27M (+72%).
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 7% · 2018 7% · 2019 5% · 2020 36% · 2021 37% · 2022 26% · 2023 26% · 2024 24% · 2025 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
35% of METROWEST YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

6 of 50 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 14% 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 METROWEST YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 50 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
42% 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 METROWEST YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 39% · 2019 41% · 2020 30% · 2021 19% · 2022 19% · 2023 77% — 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.

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. $857k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
