Programs
Healthy living: through our 14 branches and two resident camps, the y equips people of all ages and abilities to be their personal best in spirit, mind and body. Our full-service facilities bring families closer together as they build healthy lifestyles, and trained lifestyles coaches help set personal health and well-being goals. Our chronic disease prevention programs help families and individuals increase physical activity and improve nutrition to help protect their health. For example, our ymcas help overweight children and their families make positive changes together, and the ymca's diabetes prevention program helps those at risk reduce their chance of developing diabetes. Services are offered at affordable fees for the community at large, with financial assistance available for those who cannot afford the full fee. Health and wellness programs supplement the program fees, government grants, and contributions to other program areas.

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 $230M to $254M (+11%).
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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $62M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 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.
