The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $74M to $86M (+15%).
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: 2018 7% · 2019 9% · 2020 7% · 2021 18% · 2022 24% · 2023 24% · 2024 9% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
24% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER PITTSBURGH’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 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

Left out of every figure on this page: $4.5M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania). These are real filings, and they are not money YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER PITTSBURGH raised.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
38% 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 GREATER PITTSBURGH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 31% · 2019 38% · 2020 28% · 2021 43% · 2022 24% · 2023 18% — diversifying over time.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year

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.
