What Young Men's Christian Association does
Mission
To put christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Youth athletic programs & aquatics promote an appreciation of one's own worth. They focus on the full and equal participation of all: every child plays in every game. Parents coach teams and turn out, often with brothers and sisters, to watch kids play. Youth athletics values cooperation over competition, fair play over winning at any cost, good feeling and good health over a good score, and building self esteem over beating the opponent. The aquatics program allows members to use the pools and certified instructors in keeping with the focus of the ymca mission. The ymca knows that with this approach everyone wins- in spirit, mind, and body.

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 $8.7M to $4.8M (−45%).
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 0% · 2020 5% · 2021 13% · 2022 20% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
19% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 4 funders, grant income rose $66k → $166k.
1 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’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
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
47% 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 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 75% · 2019 91% · 2020 87% · 2021 46% · 2022 30% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“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
43% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION draws 71% of its grant income from funders outside Kansas, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $208k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
