What The River Valley Regional YMCA does
Mission
The ymca concentrates on three areas youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We do this through over 100 programs. Major programs are preschool and school-age childcare, summer day camp, teen programs, adult fitness, group exercise classes, senior exercise/social programs, and a variety of youth activities (youth sports, swimming lessons, etc).
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Youth development - the ymca is a leader in nurturing the potential of every child and teen every day. The ymca helps young people deepen positive values, their commitment to service, and their motivation to learn our ymca programs, such as our full-day educational, state-licensed preschool, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Expenses include direct and indirect financial aid that enables over 50% of the children enrolled to attend (who could not otherwise due to the financial cost of the program).

Our ymca provides over 17,830 fitness members with the supportive relationships and environment they need for their successful pursuit of health and well-being. This is particularly important as our community struggles with an overweight/obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. We bring families together, offer sportm recreational and social networks that build relationships and strengthen community bonds. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2025, we provided $145,772 in financial assistance to overcome barriers to participation.

For example, our ymca has partnered with the local united way to provide a free after-school teen program at several locations throughout lycoming county. While at the program, teens learn about "giving back" to the community through service projects. Older teens are invited to mentor younger participants. Overall, our ymca has engaged countless members, participants, and volunteers in activities that build social responsibility over the years.

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 $22M to $26M (+17%).
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 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 21% · 2021 15% · 2022 16% · 2023 3% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $208k → $468k.
5 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 48% 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 THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 23 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
THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
94% 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 THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 30% · 2018 45% · 2019 42% · 2020 33% · 2021 46% · 2022 47% · 2023 66% — 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.
How long its funders stay
55% of THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% 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
76% of THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL YMCA's grant income comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M 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.
