01What it does

What Young Mens Christian Assoc of Greenwich Inc does

Mission

The ymca of greenwich's mission is: to bring together and strengthen the community through programs and services that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all men, women and children.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Healthy living - the y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together, encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, 5,000 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance and resources they need to achieve greater health and spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with an obesity crisis, families struggle with work/life balance and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable and open to all faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels.

Our ymca programs, such as summer camp, childcare, competitive swimming, diving and water polo, swim lessons and youth sports, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for the young people we engage.

In addition to providing much needed care for working families, the y assisted in preparing each of these children for kindergarten.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

From the IRS filings of YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOC OF GREENWICH INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.
