Programs
Youth development. Our ymca is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe that all kids are at risk 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 adventure guides, aquatics, day camp and youth sports, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Financial assistance of $109,335 was given to 1,500 members. Income is shown net of financial assistance.

We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, over 13,000 people in our community are receiving the support, training, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. In 2025, we provided $419,306 in financial assistance to 5,936 members who otherwise would have faced economic barriers to participation.

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.
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 $14M to $16M (+12%).
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 14% · 2018 11% · 2019 9% · 2020 24% · 2021 21% · 2022 12% · 2023 11% · 2024 11% · 2025 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
87% 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 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year

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.
