What Young Men's Christian Association of Boulder Valley does
Mission
The YMCA of Boulder Valley is dedicated to strengthening the foundations of community through programs that are based on three areas of focus: Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. See Sch O
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Health living: today in colorado and southern wyoming, as in other areas of the country, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and associated chronic diseases have surpassed tobacco use as the leading cause of death. One out of every four coloradons is overweight or obese, and two-thirds of the adults who walk through the doors of the ymca have multiple needs and at least one risk factor for heart disease. Ymca programs for "health seekers" include improving physical activity, teaching healthy living habits, coaching on stress reduction and guidance on how to be a healthy role model. Our goal is to address all of these issues with programs suchas group exercise, health screenings, physical rehabilitation and spirit, mind, body programs to help members and prospective members continually feel that they belong. This is done by paying close attention to their personal information and health habits and providing plenty of opportunities for people of all fitness levels to engage in and enjoy activity and movement. The ultimate goal is that members will adopt life-long healthy lifestyles no matter their demographic. The y is open to all. The health of colorado children has also been…
$10,712,121 spent$6,022,798 earned by the program60% of program spendingYouth development: the ymca strives to turn no child away from its programs regardless of their ability to pay. Through the annual community support campaign, the ymca of northern colorado raises funds to help fulfill this commitment to our community. In 2024, we engaged thousands of youth in programs that provided safe places to learn, move and grow. Y programs help youth to live balanced lives that focus on character development, nurturing leadership and self- confidence, learning the value of giving back, and connecting with supportive mentors. At the y, we believe that every child deserves a chance to attend a summer camp - to spend time with supportive role models and to develop confidence, resilience, and understanding. In 2024, the y provided experiences for several thousand campers in day camps, at overnight camp and in outdoor education programs. Nearly one-third of our campers received some form of financial assistance. The mentorship and support is not just saved for summertime. Highly trained and qualified staff provide positive experiences for hundreds of children each week throughout the school year while parents work; nearly one-third of our families could not…
$6,489,917 spent$8,951,357 earned by the program37% of program spendingSocial responsibility: in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic, families and individuals sit at a confluence of crises. Housing prices and inflation continue to impact families' bottom line. On top of that, the limited availability of childcare as well as the cost of care have made life even more difficult for working families. Colorado's average annual cost of childcare was $16,333, ranking as among the most significant care cost burden in the country. These challenges impact the financial wellbeing of women, single parents, families in poverty, families of color and immigrant families. That's why the ymca of northern colorado has focused its energy on expanding childcare and ensuring families have access to affordable care, accepting government assistance programs and providing financial assistance to those in need. In addition to providing financial assistance for families, the ymca of northern colorado acted as a full-fledged partner in the mental and physical well-being of the community as a whole. As social media divides us and creates discord, the y works to bring people together, building connections, starting conversations and combating isolation. From volunteerism and…

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 2023 to 2024, from $25M to $33M (+29%).
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 7% · 2018 5% · 2020 13% · 2021 6% · 2022 12% · 2023 13% · 2024 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year

17 of 64 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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 OF BOULDER VALLEY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 64 funders by total. 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 OF BOULDER VALLEY has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
77% 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 OF BOULDER VALLEY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 41% · 2019 24% · 2020 31% · 2021 33% · 2022 18% · 2023 40% — 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.

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.

Where its funders are
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF BOULDER VALLEY draws 53% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 16 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
