Programs
Youth Development - The YMCA believes every child deserves the opportunity to discover their full potential and is dedicated to nurturing the growth of all children and teens. Through a broad range of programs, the YMCA equips young people with the values, skills, and relationships that promote positive behaviors, improved health, and academic achievement. Early childhood programs such as Head Start, Early Head Start, and state-funded childcare and preschool help bridge the opportunity gap by supporting children's emotional, social, and cognitive development. Families receive access to health services, counseling, and goal-setting initiatives, particularly for those impacted by trauma. In addition, youth development programs-including after-school enrichment, summer and resident camps, youth sports, and swim instruction-help children build confidence, develop leadership skills, and thrive in safe, supportive environments.

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 2024 to 2025, from $147M to $165M (+12%).

Who funds it, year by year

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
99% 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 the East Bay.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 42% · 2019 43% · 2020 43% · 2021 36% · 2022 26% · 2023 25% — 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
