About Us

The YMCA is...

    The Lincoln Area YMCA is a Charitable 501(c)(3) organization and is NOT tax supported. Our revenue comes from program and membership fees, as well as donations. We are a non-facility, store-front YMCA that opened in 1991 under the Springfield, IL Y charter. We are named the Lincoln Area YMCA due to the fact that our services extend further than just Lincoln, and into the surrounding towns in Logan County. We became independent in 1997.
