Exploring NeedCommunity Size – communities of 25,000 people and larger have
the capacity to support a YMCA facilityCommunity Support – feasibility testing validates need and interest
and financial support for a YMCA operation. This includes $1,000,000 founder’s campaign (all monies stay in local community) of which 20-25% should be placed in an endowment for future sustainability.
Y Programs & Services – Many smaller communities can receive Y programs and services by working with existing Y’s that will provide outreach to neighboring communities that need and can support YMCA services.
