Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Greater Philadelphia YMCA works to connect people to healthier lives through three areas of focus: healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility.

  • HEALTHY LIVING: Greater Philadelphia YMCA is one of the nation's leading nonprofits strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Throughout the Greater Philadelphia region, we serve more than 180,000 members and 240,000 individuals a year- regardless of age, income, or background. Our mission is all about connecting people to healthier lives - in mind, body and spirit. While our programs and facilities are always based on the unique needs and interests of our communities, every greater Philadelphia Y location has one thing in common: our people. The volunteers, staff, members and donors of the Y are all united by a deep commitment to building stronger communities and being a place where all are welcome. With the help of generous donors, we are able to provide more than $6M in financial assistance enabling members of our community to get healthy and provide safe, trusted care for their children. The values that define the Y are Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.

    Expenses $59,036,009 · Grants $2,194,864 · Revenue $60,715,054

  • YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: The Greater Philadelphia YMCA is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. The YMCA helps young people cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behavior, better health, and educational achievement. YMCA programs such as summer camp, overnight camp, before/after school enrichment, 7th grade membership initiative and youth sports offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. As the largest provider of childcare services in southeastern Pennsylvania, the YMCA cares for approximately 1,000 0-5 year-old and 3,000 school aged children each day. The YMCA offers state-certified and Keystone star-ranked childcare programs at over 90 locations. Summer camp programs serve more than 5,000 children, many of them receiving financial assistance to attend. For children with special medical needs, there is Dragonfly Forest, a summer camp program for children with autism, 22q and asthma taking place each summer at the YMCA owned Camp Speers. The 7th grade membership initiative guarantees every 7th grade student a free one-year membership at any greater Philadelphia YMCA branch. This program allows the YMCA the opportunity to engage, cultivate and connect with youth from low-income families living in underserved areas at a time that is most crucial to their development. Over 5,000 free memberships to 7th graders are awarded each year. Most recently, YMCA created a teen technology center at its Columbia North branch.

    Expenses $33,320,412 · Grants $1,230,986 · Revenue $26,766,389

  • SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Greater Philadelphia YMCA is committed to strengthening individuals and communities by expanding access to opportunities and support.. We strive to remove barriers that limit the ability of all people to reach their full potential. The YMCA supports this mission through member engagement, employee resource networks and community partnerships. We integrate this commitment into the strategic direction and growth of our YMCA. We offer programs that foster social-emotional learning, character development, and personal growth - particularly for underserved youth. These include college readiness, career readiness, gun violence prevention, and civic engagement initiatives such as Youth Civic Engagement, Out of School Time, Workforce Development and Y-Achievers. The latter are academic and career development programs designed to help youth set and pursue educational and professional goals. Our goal is to provide meaningful opportunities that close gaps in access to technology and education, and to help prepare a skilled, adaptable and tech-savvy workforce.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
