What Young Men's Christian Association of Carlisle does

Mission

Carlisle family ymca is a charitable community service organization that offers programs designed for men, women, and children of all ages, abilities, incomes, ethnic groups and religions. Our ymca was founded by volunteers, is led by volunteers, and encourages volunteerism in our programs. We are dedicated to building strong children, families, and strong communities by promoting personal growth, enhancing family values, and providing community service through programs available to all. Services are offered at affordable fees for the community-at-large with financial assistance available for those who cannot afford the full fee. We offer a welcoming atmosphere where participants feel comfortable and receive the support they need to improve their physical, mental, and spiritual health. Ymca programs develop self-esteem and self-confidence, build lasting relationships, foster healthy lifestyles, promote leadership development in youth and adults, and increase civic engagement.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $107k → $28k.

4 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $1.7M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County). These are real filings, and they are not money YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF CARLISLE raised.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $150k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
