Executive Compensation at the YMCA (2021)
The YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) is a worldwide (119 countries) organization based in Geneva, Switzerland (World Alliance of the YMCA). Within the United States, there are approximately 2,560 YMCA’s serving 10,000 communities that rely on the YMCA of the USA (that is also known as the National Council of YMCA’s of the USA) that in turn relies on The World Alliance of the YMCA). In the most simplistic terms, the YMCA is organized as follows:

125 National Associations (including The YMCA of the USA/National Council of YMCA’s of the USA)
Alliances (typically geographic) and Local Chapters (including 2,700 YMCA’s in the USA) Read more 
Where Does $100 to the YMCA Go (2021)?
If you donated $100 to the YMCA in 2021, how was that $100 spent? The answer depends on whether the donation was made to one of the local chapters (there are about 2,700 in the US) or to the YMCA of the USA (which is legally known as the National Council of YMCA’s of the USA) and is the parent organization in the US (that seeks to strengthen local YMCA”s through grants and program support) or the World Alliance of the YMCA (the parent organization of the 119 countries in the world that have YMCA’s), based in Geneva, Switzerland. For the purposes of this post, let’s assume the donation was made to the YMCA of the USA (because each of those local chapters is a separate 501 (c) 3 that files its own IRS Form 990 so the answer could have 2,700 different answers).
The short answer is that $30 out of every $100 was spent on staff and organization expenses while $35 out of every $100 was spent on grants and fees for services that primarily supported program services. The remaining $35 out of every $100 was put in the general fund (think savings account).
