What Waco Family YMCA does
Mission
To put christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind & body for all.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The organization ceased conducting program services.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Healthy living-improving the nation's health, specifically waco-mclennan county, and well-being. That's why we help people and families build and maintain healthy habits for spirit, mind and body in their everyday lives. By helping kids, adults, families, and seniors from all backgrounds improve their health and well-being, we build a stronger community for us all. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, and fun, shared experiences. The ymca provides a variety of experiences which assist our community with attaining healthy habits including over 150 weekly land and water fitness classes, cpr/ first aid classes, lifeguard training, youth and adult sports programs, 5k training programs, active older adults programs, and chronic disease prevention programs. Our prevention programs are all evidenced-based and include enhanced fitness (free community based, senior fitness and arthritis management), livestrong at the ymca (free program to help cancer survivors regain their total health), mend (mind, exercise, nutrition, do, it!- a free lifestyle program to help kids and their families reach and maintain a healthy weight),…
Youth development-nurturing the potential of every child in waco-mclennan county. We believe all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve under the guidance of adults who care about them and believe in their potential. We see every interaction with young people as an opportunity for learning and development. Every day, we help youth cultivate values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our ymca programs such as afterschool, summer camp, and holiday camp care; child watch; ymca's edna learning center (full-day early child care center); teen digital media program; youth sports; year round food program; baby sitter training; lifeguard training; cheerleading; hip-hop dance; runwacorun (free afterschool 5k training program with 400 participants); basketball clinic (free summer clinic which promoted character and anti-bullying with almost 400 participants) and swim lessons (only local charitable organization which provides this potentially life-saving skill) offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth.
Social responsibility-giving back and providing support to our neighbors for over 130 years. With our doors open to all, we work every day to connect people from all backgrounds and support those who need us most. We take on urgent needs in our community and inspire a spirit of service in return. Our members, volunteers, supporters, and staff demonstrate the power of what we can achieve by giving back together. Youth at doris miller ymca earned free memberships by participating in programs that promote character development, job skills, and academic achievement. To offer the greatest possible access to our programs, services, and facilities and to provide for our neighbors who might not be able to afford the full cost these services, we engage in fundraising through our annual scholarship campaign, grants, and individual, corporate, and foundation support. We employ over 250 teens and young people (ages 16-24) annually not only providing them a job, but also providing them a foundation for their future careers and economic potential, putting them on the path to becoming tomorrow's teachers, doctors, and engineers. We continue to offer memberships to active military families and…
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 $4.6M to $0 (−100%).
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 6% · 2018 8% · 2019 9% · 2020 12% · 2021 35%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of WACO FAMILY YMCA’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 7 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $320k → $46k.
3 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% 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 WACO FAMILY YMCA’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
WACO FAMILY YMCA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 WACO FAMILY YMCA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 41% · 2019 59% · 2020 27% · 2021 61% · 2022 54% · 2023 98% — 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
18% of WACO FAMILY YMCA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
81% of WACO FAMILY YMCA's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
WACO FAMILY YMCA has grown faster than half of the 14,237 human services nonprofits its size.
