As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Health living for youth and adults-helping people of all ages develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the ymca movement. Our programs are designed to help people create realistic goals for self-improvement and emphasize disease prevention through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and health education. Sports programs for youth, families, and adults promote teamwork, interaction, and development of social and physical skills. Our "arthritis aquatics" is an aquatics program that keep seniors active and flexible, our tadpoles aquatics program helps to develop physical skills in toddlers, our family nights give adults and children shared time in the pool to appreciate one another and promote intergenerational relationships. Our services are offered at affordable fees for the community at large, with reasonable accommodations for those with special needs, and with financial assistance available for those who cannot afford the full fee. In light of the rising obesity rates in this country, our ymca participates in the activate america initiative and engages in a variety of events and community activities designed to help the "at risk population"…
Human services-our ymca works in collaboration with governmental and community agencies to provide a variety of programs that help accomplish our mission to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. In these programs we develop and build on people's strengths, rather than focusing on the determinants in their lives. Our programs offer mentoring, tutoring, cultural awareness, anger management, healthy lifestyles, allow participants to improve their skills, develop self-esteem, and self-reliance, and build healthy relationships with their peers and with members of the community at large. These programs create an atmosphere in which leadership skills and an ethic of service can grow and flourish.
Ymca development programs-ymca youth and teen programs give kids good role models to help them develop self-esteem and good values, including caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and a strong work ethic. Our youth leadership program exposes young people to civic leaders and helps them develop an understanding and appreciation of civic involvement. Our service learning program helps youth develop an appreciation of charitable service in our community. Many programs are provided at no cost. Financial assistance is available for fee-based programs, so a young person's economic circumstances are not a barrier to participation. The ymca day camp program provides a lasting experience of personal enrichment. Day camps offer adventure and learning activities that provide challenge and promote spiritual awareness, mental development, physical well being, social growth, and self-respect. Camping helps youth become aware of their physical and mental capabilities, to recognize the value of cooperation, and to gain confidence.
Child care- our ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for preschool and school age children drawing on diverse members of the community. We proved both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs. Woven into the fabric of the ymca mission is a commitment to strengthening families. Ymca childcare programs relieve the burden of balancing work and family and make it possible for parents of children in our care to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, developmentally sound environment.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $4.0M to $5.0M (+26%).
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: 2020 13% · 2021 19% · 2022 15% · 2023 2% · 2024 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $22k → $134k.
2 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $560k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Defiance Area Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Young Mens Christian Association of Defiance County Ohio raised.
From the IRS filings of Young Mens Christian Association of Defiance County Ohio’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 Mens Christian Association of Defiance County Ohio.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 67% · 2019 63% · 2020 35% · 2021 33% · 2022 53% · 2023 97% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
