"The biggest challenge the YMCA faces today is funding.As a non-profit organization, we budget to break even and needless to say,2020 did not meet expectations for us financially. Much of what we offer is donor funded or donor subsidized —Livestrong for cancer survivors, aquatics programming like boating education and water safety, support groups and the financial assistance we provide to ensure we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay are all examples of just some programs we rely on donors for.”- Ashtabula County YMCA CEO Trevor Sprague
