Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

At the YMCA of Central Virginia, we are driven by our mission which is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Activities or mission (Part I)

AT THE YMCA OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA, WE BELIEVE A STRONG COMMUNITY CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR KIDS, OUR HEALTH AND OUR NEIGHBORS. THAT'S WHY OUR ASSOCIATION OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN IS COMMITTED TO BRING ABOUT LASTING PERSONAL AND SOCIAL CHANGE BY FOCUSING ON NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF CHILDREN, PROMOTING HEALTHY LIVING AND FOSTERING SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. OUR POLICY OF WELCOMING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, GENDERS, ETHNICITIES, FAITHS, ABILITIES AND BACKGROUNDS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ONE OUT OF EVERY TEN PEOPLE IN THE GREATER LYNCHBURG COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS OFFERED TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WHO CANNOT AFFORD MEMBERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS. WE ARE A CAUSE-DRIVEN ORGANIZATION FOUNDED AND LED BY VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR COMMUNITY WHO SERVE ON OUR GOVERNING AND POLICY MAKING BOARDS AND AS MENTORS, COACHES AND MORE.

  • Healthy Living- The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. We bring families closer together. We encourage good health and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interest such as, Parkinson's, Diabetes Prevention, LiveStrong at the YMCA, group exercise, health screenings, aquatics, aging well adult activities, family strengthening and social clubs. As a result over 35,000 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles various health issues, 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. In 2023, we provided $321,196 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

    Expenses $5,194,637 · Revenue $7,261,413

  • Social Responsibility- Our Y believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical needs for more than 161 years. Y programs such as youth sports, youth swim lessons, outreach swim lessons, achievement gap and fitness for youth with behavioral challenges are examples of how we deliver training, resources and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. In 2023, we engaged over 4,387 YMCA members, participants and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive. In 2023, we provided $3,220 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

    Expenses $2,852,280 · Revenue $465,846

  • Youth Development- Our Y is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen in our communities. We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. This is why we help youth in our communities to cultivate the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Our Y programs, such as year-round before/after childcare (387 kids) and the Jamerson Family YMCA Kidz Gym, offer a range of experiences that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. In partnership with Virginia Fosters, a statewide initiative that empowers leaders across the Commonwealth to be the solution for children, families and workers in Virginia's child welfare system, the YMCAs in Virginia are excited to provide a benefit to support foster families. We currently have 55 families that receive subsidies from the Commonwealth of Virginia to be a part of the Y. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for 45 percent of the young people we engage. In 2023, we provided $16,692 in financial assistance to people who otherwise may not have been able to afford to participate.

    Expenses $2,412,573 · Revenue $690,716

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared as related by

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
