YMCA of Broome County

What YMCA of Broome County does

YMCA of Broome County is a 501(c)-equivalent nonprofit community organization founded in 1865 and headquartered in Binghamton, New York, operating two physical branches: the Binghamton Y at 61 Susquehanna Street and the West Family YMCA in Johnson City (purchased as a school building in 1987). The organization delivers services across its three mission pillars of Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility, including swim lessons, youth and adult sports leagues, group exercise, summer camp, a LIVESTRONG cancer survivor program, and Moving for Better Balance falls prevention. A distinctive line of business is the Men's Supportive Housing program, which provides 132 emergency/transitional beds operating at 99% occupancy and 47,500 nights of care annually, with a board-approved expansion toward 60,000 nights.

The revenue model combines subscription-style membership and program registration fees, pay-as-you-go event and tournament fees, an annual fundraising campaign (goal of $85,000 for financial assistance), corporate event sponsorships (Golf Tournament, Corporate Challenge, Thanksgiving Dinner), and capital grants from New York State (notably $1.41M through NY BRICKS in March 2026 and $1.2M Assembly funding in October 2025). Technology infrastructure is standard for the sector: the Accrisoft Freedom CMS powers the public website at ymcabroome.org, the Daxko platform with FamilyWorks handles program registration and scheduling, and a mobile app extends member access. There are no proprietary technology assets, AI/ML capabilities, or APIs disclosed.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-in and online membership sign-up at the two branches, supplemented by corporate outreach for sponsorship and event participation. Customer segments span families, adults and seniors, unhoused men, and corporate/employer organizations, with a hybrid segmentation approach. Geographic reach is limited to Broome County, New York. The organization is led by CEO Gareth Sansom, Housing Director Collin Elliott, and Assistant Housing Director Rexmond Asamoah, with no private equity, venture capital, or acquisition activity disclosed.
