Programs
YMCA programs nurture children from infancy through young adulthood through full-day care, preschool education, and structured social and emotional development programs. We provide safe, productive environments for healthy child development, starting with preparation for success in school. In addition to the more than 250 babies and preschool children at our F.M. Kirby Children's Center, more than 400 school-age children attended full-day summer camp on Madison's Drew University Campus. Overall, nearly 2,000 children and teens participated in Y programs in 2025 including water safety training and swim lessons; team and recreational sports; and after-school programming. School-age children in our aquatics, gymnastics and sports programs learn self-confidence, caring, respect, responsibility, teamwork, and athletic skills. The Y's Teen Leaders Club teaches the fundamentals of community service and leadership. Our counseling program helps children facing depression, anxiety and emotional challenges, helping them to heal, feel safe and be productive in school.

At the same time, hundreds of children and teens enrolled in aquatics, sports, summer camp and gymnastics programs in higher numbers than ever before. Dozens of fitness classes and aquatics programs serving the diverse needs of our membership were fully subscribed, with a particular focus on serving frail elders, as well as children and adults living with permanent disabilities and/or recovering from injuries or illnesses.

Our strategic plan focuses on identifying and engaging individuals from under-served communities, working to ensure our environment is welcoming and creates a clear sense of belonging, especially to newcomers. To expand inclusion, our Y maintains ongoing wellness and fitness programs for children, teens and adults with disabilities. To more fully reach underserved communities, the Y hosted supply drives for partner organizations including AAUW (American Association of University Women), Jamaica Relief, Toys for Tots, Moms Helping Moms and Jersey Cares. Food collection drives were hosted for the United Methodist Church, Diwali SEWA and other local low-income families. Through the engagement of dozens of volunteers, the Y generated more than 7,000 hours of volunteer service during the year, including hosting 25 Madison High School students for a Day of Service at the Kirby Center.

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 2020 to 2021, from $22M to $29M (+33%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 MADISON NJ.

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
