What Old Colony Young Men's Christian Association Inc does
Mission
Old colony ymca helps children, families, and individuals develop to their fullest potential. We respond to ever-changing community needs and view our services through three lenses: youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We believe ymca services must be available and accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay or partake. Many of our participants face complex barriers to success and involvement, such as mental health and substance abuse issues, experiences of homelessness and trauma, and chronic disease and health concerns. Donations help us meet the needs of everyone who comes through our doors, and provide financial assistance for memberships, camp, mentoring, education, and childcare.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $60M to $71M (+18%).
