Woodson YMCA Inc.

“The individuals that take out a membership are members and can vote at the annual meeting.”

“Members (those who pay for membership) may elect members of the governing board at the annual meeting.”

“A copy of the 990 is provided to the board of directors to review prior to filing the form 990 with the internal revenue service.”

“Annually, each member is required to fill out and sign a new conflict of interest form, which is kept on file. If there are any questions or concerns the board discusses the issue and makes a determination as to what action is required. Any conflicts that may be noted during the year are also handled by discussion with the board.”

“Branch directors rank individual directors through the use of an mbo system. The year's final mbo rating is then used, along with any recommendations for increases, by the executive director, to create salary recommendations for all staff. A spreadsheet is prepared for the personnel committee and during the june/july meeting they approve or disapprove. At that time, based on surveys of similar position salaries, the committee determines the next years salary for the executive director.”

“The form 990 is available in the finance director's office. Individuals can call or stop by and request to look at them.”

“The ymca mission is "to put christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all." we help the people we serve put these principles into practice in their daily lives. We accomplish this by developing the character of the people we serve. We develop character by teaching positive values. The core values of the ymca are: caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect. These values are stressed in all areas of the ymca starting at the preschool level and running all the way through our active older adult programs.”

“Healthy living - in 2019, 5,438 youth and families benefited from our community partners campaign. The woodson ymca subsidized 382,284 in financial assistance to those in need. 68 youth, 654 adults, 5,370 family members, 60 dislocated workers, and 213 individuals with special needs were provided with subsidized memberships. These members were able to experience orientations, programs, and equipment that help them achieve a healthier lifestyle. Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It's about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. The ymca is a place where you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with new and old friends, bringing your loved ones closer together. At the ymca, it is not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside.”

“Social responsibility - our ymca family includes 6,365 youth, adults, family members, and dislocated workers who were given reduced fee memberships because we believe everyone should have the ability to learn, grow and thrive at the ymca. In 2019, 3,305 adults who are 55 and older used their memberships to develop social connections and maintain their independence. The generosity of others is at the core of the y's existence as a nonprofit organization. It is only through the support of our over 1,140 volunteers and more than 337 donors that we are able to support and give back to our community through programs like: community garden, livestrong at the ymca, healthy kids day, cpr/first aid certification courses, membership/program scholarship fundraisers, world service, parkinson's/movement disorder program, parent's night out, and free mini- care/child watch.”
