“Established in 1873, the madison area ymca is a human services organization serving the chathams, madison, florham park and their respective school districts and surrounding communities. A new no-fee counseling program, operated in partnership with the boroughs and school districts of the chathams, florham park and madison, was introduced at the y in 2014. Serving children and teens, the program works with their families and schools to address pressing mental health issues including anxiety, depression and/or self-destructive behaviors. Supporting the counseling operation is a new y community mental health initiative that engages community leaders in workshops, training and other efforts to raise awareness and lower the stigma associated with mental illness. In 2014, the y also partnered with the nonprofit cornerstone family programs of morristown and grace episcopal church in madison to find care for 10 children from very low income families who had received care through cornerstone at the church site. When low enrollment forced cornerstone to close the church-site operation, the y coordinated to analyze the situation and ultimately took action to absorb these children into the y's f.m. Kirby children's center, assuring long term sustainability for these children and families. In 2014, the y also introduced a research-based, structured program for diabetes prevention, seeking to address the significant health risk faced by up to 37% of adults in the us. The y strategic plan directs the organization to continue building partnerships and developing innovative services that address pressing social needs, including child safety, wellness for children and adults, and support to those living with chronic disease. Operating primarily from two buildings in madison, the family center and the f.m. Kirby chldren's center, the madison area y exists to strengthen community by providing services and programs to advance youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. By growing philanthropic revenue over the past four years, the y has been able to extend its services to even more adults and children who cannot afford the full costs of participation. Serving 10,014 members, more than 2,500 program participants and the families of up to 300 infants, toddlers, preschool and school-age children, the y provided financial assistance to nearly 1,200 children, families and adults of all ages. Charitable contributions also have enabled the y to offer a growing number of no-cost programs and services. All service area residents are eligible to apply for financial assistance, which is evaluated based on the new jersey department of labor gross median income table, considering family size and total household income. Special circumstances such as illness and short-term unemployment are also considered. All recipients pay at least some portion of the cost. Following is a breakdown of the y community benefit contributions, as defined by the total cost of providing free or reduced-cost services: -- program, childcare and membership assistance: $595,575 -- community activities and event participation: $69,389 -- community use of buildings: $99,039 -- volunteer time contributed: $480,267 -- total: $1,244,269 the y growing philanthropy is made possible in part through annual volunteer-driven campaigns that engage y members and others in helping to share information about the y charitable mission and seeking their financial support. The 2014 annual campaign engaged 85 volunteers, secured donations from 815 donors, and grew by 6.5%, to raise a total of $301,058. Other fundraising through major gifts, corporate, foundation and government grants and special events resulted in contributed income totaling $681,687 last year. An additional $350,000 was raised in capital contributions in 2014. Support to families of very young children has continued to grow at the kirby center, where a total of 86 children received $312,585 in assistance last year. One o”
