Finance & Funding

While our services have increased by more than 150% since September 11, 2001, our overhead costs remain below 10% — a number well below the 25% recommended by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the organization that provides oversight over the annual Federal Combine Federal Campaign (CFC). More than two-thirds of our funds are raised through internal efforts. We are proud of our fiscally responsible, top-rated military non-profit status, and we are happy to share our financial transparency as an “exceptional” military non-profit, as rated by Charity Navigator in 2012.

We are entirely self-funded through individual donations, corporate contributions, and a standing YMCA endowment that pays for our free and low-cost military programs and services. Except for contracts for services, we receive no funding from the U.S. government. Your donation can help us impact the lives of more military families, and help make military life easier.

Thank you for learning more and we hope you will consider contributing to much needed services for military and their families.

Independent Charities of America
The ASYMCA is a proud recipient of the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence, which is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
