Programs
Social responsibility: last year, 1751 people found safe, supportive shelter at the y; of this number, more than 732 were children. The ymca provides shelter, food pantry, counseling, and referrals. Our youth shelter offers counseling, life skills training, education, and other critical support to teens in crisis. Yes and erc have provided life-changing services to more than 65 youth over the past year. Nurturing caseworkers help youth get back to school, re-establish family bonds, and meet their goals. Recent evaluations show that we were able to connect 90% of youth with an educational program or tutoring services. Our ymca assisted 300 residents in our supportive housing program. This program provides permanent housing to chronically homeless families and individuals. This program provides each adult within the family with necessary on-site services that are determined to be necessary based on individual needs assessments. The program goal is to decrease the current level of recidivism of homelessness.

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 2017 to 2018, from $9.4M to $6.7M (−28%).
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 56% · 2018 62% · 2019 60% · 2020 76% · 2021 69% · 2022 75% · 2023 77% · 2024 69% · 2025 68%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEWARK & VICINITY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 16 of 17 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
48% 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 NEWARK & VICINITY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 79% · 2018 45% · 2019 76% · 2020 65% · 2021 67% · 2022 57% · 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
75% of YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEWARK & VICINITY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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.

Where its funders are
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEWARK & VICINITY draws 53% of its grant income from funders outside New Jersey, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $133k 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. 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.
