Programs
Youth development - early care and education:the burbank y is a leader in providing licensed, national association for the education of young children (naeyc) accredited early care and education (ece) programs. Our ece programs serve up to 230 young children daily in our infant, toddler, and preschool programs. The programs use a play-based approach that enables children to learn as they play, develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. We are dedicated to serving children diagnosed with neurodivergent disorders. Our teachers work with parents to detect the early signs of possible neurodivergent disorders in preschool age children and, when indicated, encourage families to seek advice and evaluation from their pediatrician or regional center. Our ece programs offer low teacher-child ratios and certified and master's level teachers. Lesson plans are used that maximize cognitive and social-emotional development to support the successful integration of children diagnosed with neurodivergent disorders into the program's general population.

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 2023 to 2024, from $3.6M to $7.3M (+105%).
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% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 18% · 2021 12% · 2023 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
18% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION’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 7 funders to 8 funders, grant income fell $270k → $181k.
3 of 24 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% 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 has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% 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
71% 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 45% · 2018 73% · 2019 70% · 2020 35% · 2021 70% · 2022 73% · 2023 26% — 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
28% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
53% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $51k 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.
