Dear Friends, For nearly 140 years, our YMCA has been listening and responding to our community’s most pressing needs. The Y that took root in Nashville in 1875 with a desire to nurture strong Christian characters in young men is today the region’s largest nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community. In 2013, our Y offered 313,966 people—nearly a third of them children—the tools and support they needed to learn, grow and thrive. At the Y, we believe our community is strongest when we give people from all walks of life the opportunity to grow in spirit, mind and body. As Paul’s letter to the Corinthians reminds us, it takes many parts to form the body of Christ, and no one part is more important than another. And so it is with the Y. It takes all of us— combining our unique gifts and talents, to make a lasting impact in our community. Like the pieces of a puzzle, when thousands of individuals come together for the common good, the full picture of what’s possible in our community is revealed. We hope this annual report offers a glimpse of what’s possible when dedicated individuals join our cause of strengthening community. Through our shared commitment to Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility, our Y will continue to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve health and well-being and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors in need. And at a time when the achievement gap affects too many of our kids, when chronic disease plagues our nation and when more and more people are struggling to make ends meet, it’s never been more important for our Y to fulfill its Christian mission by investing in our kids, our health and our neighbors. To you, our volunteers, donors, friends and staff, we extend our deepest gratitude. You are all important pieces in the puzzle that is our community, and we remain forever grateful to all who joined hands with us in 2013 to ensure that our Y will continue to strengthen our community for generations to come. May God continue to bless each of you, and may He continue to bless the lifechanging work of our YMCA.

OUR IMPACT TOTAL YOUTH REACHED:
110,728
INSTILLED CHARACTER VALUES AND LIFE SKILLS
in 37,681 youth and teens who participated in YMCA programs designed to promote healthy exercise and nutrition habits as well as the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Nurturing the Potential of Every Child and Teen
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y, millions of youth—including more than 100,000 in our region—are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.
OUR STRATEGIES
Give Kids a Place to Belong
How a child spends their time away from school and home can be critical to their success. The Y gives youth and teens a safe place to belong while offering quality programs and services that make sure our kids’ learning and growth never stops.
Teach Values and Life Skills PROVIDED CRITICAL BEFORE- AND AFTER-SCHOOL CARE to 9,723 participants in YMCA Fun Co.
The Y connects kids to caring adult role models whose example and leadership demonstrate the critical character values and life skills they’ll need to reach their full potential in life.
Foster Healthy Habits PREVENTED SUMMER LEARNING LOSS
by allowing 6,604 youth the chance to experience the magic and adventure of summer camp.
Children can only thrive when they are healthy in all areas of life—spirit, mind and body. That’s why our Y has committed resources to a wide range of youth wellness programs and initiatives—from diabetes prevention to youth sports—designed to keep kids healthy and lower our community’s youth obesity rate.
Help Those Most in Need TAUGHT LIFE-SAVING SWIM LESSONS to 8,758 youth and teens
Whether it’s providing a literacy tutor to close a child’s achievement gap, offering swim lessons in communities with a higher risk of drowning or providing a mentor to a teen trying to overcome a past mistake, the Y believes in giving every child the chance to reach their potential, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances.
Giving Kids a Place to Thrive When Paola Morales first visited the DonelsonHermitage Family YMCA nearly a decade ago, she thought she was joining a gym for adults. “But when I went there, I saw that everything—everything was about family.” At the time, her youngest son, Giancarlo, was just a baby. Today, he’s an active 10-year-old whom Paola says would rather spend time at the Y than anywhere else. “We’re usually at the Y at least five days a week,” Paola says, “but even on days that I may not feel like going, my kids are like, ‘Mom, come on, let’s go to the Y.’ They’d rather be there than at home or even the movies.” Like more than 100,000 other youth and teens in our community, Giancarlo and his older brothers spend much of their out-of-school time at the YMCA, and Paola says the safe and nurturing environment has been a Godsend for her family. All three of her sons are active youth sports participants and day campers, so for Paola, the Y’s commitment to Youth Development means her children’s learning doesn’t end with the sound of the school bell. She knows the character values, positive behaviors and social skills her kids are learning will help them become confident, connected and responsible adults. “Everyone at the Y—from the sports coaches to swim instructors—treats us like family. As a parent, it’s great to look out while you’re exercising and see your kids having fun and learning to follow directions and become leaders for other kids.”
HEALTHY LIVING
OUR STRATEGIES
Encourage Healthy Families
Improving the Nation’s Health and Well-Being In communities across the nation, the Y is a leading voice on health and wellbeing. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, hundreds of thousands of youth, adults and families in Middle Tennessee are receiving the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for the spirit, mind and body.
As our community’s leading provider of familybased wellness services, the Y is uniquely positioned to help families live healthier lifestyles. From our family-friendly group fitness classes to incorporating physical activity into every one of our youth programs, our Y is committed to making it easier for families in our community to make healthy choices.
Break the Income-Obesity Connection
Studies show that individuals and families with the lowest incomes are considerably more likely to become obese compared to households with higher incomes. Through our Income-based Rate Scale and other forms of financial assistance, the Y is working to help everyone in our community improve their health and well-being regardless of financial circumstances.
Assist Targeted Health Populations
Programs such as the YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program, Full Circle and After Breast Cancer all serve to meet the health and wellness needs of individuals and families who most need our help. Our Y is also partnering with area health providers to offer medically-based services including physical therapy, nutrition education and cardiac rehabilitation.

ENCOURAGED HEALTHY FAMILIES
IMPROVED THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING of thousands of individuals who participated in the more than 7,000 YMCA group fitness classes offered throughout Middle Tennessee each month.
by serving as a leading provider of family wellness services and by inspiring others to make healthy choices through events like YMCA Healthy Kids Day and Nashville on the Move.
If the YMCA is going to help our entire community improve their health and well-being, our work can’t begin and end inside our own facilities. That’s why the Y works with community partners and leaders in all levels of government to advocate for public policies and programs that can help everyone in our community stay active and make healthy choices.
Challenging Yourself to Make Healthy Choices Keith Kenemer weighed 465 pounds, was bound to a wheelchair for a majority of the time and suffering with diabetes, among other physical ailments. He knew he was heading in the wrong direction—and fast. Then Keith joined the North Rutherford YMCA, and began to transform his life one day, and one healthy choice, at a time. He started by using the weight machines on the wellness floor and attending water aerobics classes. He and his wife also transformed their diet, following a simple rule of thumb: “If God makes it and it grows on a plant or on a tree; you eat it. If a human makes it in a (manufacturing) plant, you don’t eat it.” The result: Thanks to Keith’s hard work and dedication, and some much-appreciated advice and support from YMCA staff, he has been able to lose more than 180 pounds. He’s also been able to cut his medication intake by more than 50% and regain control of his diabetes. “You have to learn to make wise choices,” he explains, “and those choices are something that is not necessarily easy for a lot of people and that is where the staff of the Y comes in.
“The Y offers everyone the chance to challenge yourself, and the staff members are there to help push you along and give you encouragement from a Christian perspective. I can’t tell you how much that means.”

OUR STRATEGIES SOCIAL Supportive Communities RESPONSIBILITY Nurturing Science is starting to prove what the Y has long Giving Back and Providing Support to Our Neighbors
Our Y has been listening to and responding to our communities’ most critical social needs for nearly 140 years. That history has taught us that lasting personal and social change only comes when we join hands to work together and support one another. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a sense of social responsibility in our community by providing opportunities for people to give back, make meaningful connections with one another and develop the community support and resources needed to meet our region’s most critical needs.
known: that when people form positive and mutually supportive relationships with one another, they can accomplish remarkable things for both themselves and their community. From group exercise to teen centers to senior social clubs, the Y seeks to provide opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds and incomes to make meaningful connections with one another.
Providing Opportunities to Give Back
As a volunteer-led organization, the Y recognizes the mutual benefit that results when people share their time, talent and financial resources in support of a cause larger than themselves. That’s why we’ve made it a priority to develop new systems to both help the Y engage its current volunteers and encourage others in our community to give back and support their fellow neighbors.
Community Partnerships
Recognizing that we must work together to move our community forward, the Y seeks out relationships with local schools, nonprofits, businesses, churches and other partners who wish to join hands in our effort to give everyone the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
The Healing Powers of Community Jeremy James moved to Nashville in 2011 to seek healing at a local recovery house from his addiction to alcohol and drugs. As he started to work his way through treatment, a friend suggested he try out the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA in east Nashville, which partners with half-way houses to allow patients to work out as part of their recovery. After completing treatment and finding work, Jeremy was able to continue as a member thanks to the Y’s Income-based Rate Scale, or IBRS. Last year, Jeremy was among the approximately one in four Y members who received a total of $8.6 million in financial assistance so they could belong to the Y in their community. Venturing away from the security of the recovery house, Jeremy said the environment at the Y provided a place where he didn’t have to worry about temptations—which was important at that stage of his recovery—and supported his new faith in God through its emphasis on Christian values. It was also a place where he did not feel judged for his past. “Before I hit bottom and found healing, the relationships I formed revolved around the wrong places. After treatment, I didn’t know how to live life sober. The first friends I made out of recovery were at the Y.”
2013 FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2013 was a challenging year in many respects. Like many other YMCA associations around the country, our revenue growth has slowed significantly over the past five years while costs have continued to rise. Despite over $2 million in annual savings from our 2012 debt refinancing and internal efforts at cost containment through centralized purchasing and property management, for the second year in a row our Income from Continuing Operations fell slightly. Many of our high-volume membership centers which have historically seen robust financial performance have been hit the hardest, both by the Great Recession and by new competition for wellness services in our market. To preserve our long-term sustainability, in August 2013 our Association announced the closure of four membership centers and the restructuring of many of our Youth Development and Urban Services programs. Also in 2013, we made key investments in software and technology that should provide significant return on investment over time. It is estimated that when all savings are mature, these actions will restore over $1.2 million annually in operating margin to the organization – a significant safeguard to ensure our continued sustainability.
Financial Health Matters The title of our 2014 budget plan is “Financial Health Matters” – a statement that is perhaps more true for our Y now than ever. Our senior leadership team recognizes that our operating environment has changed and is preparing for success by setting attainable levels of growth, cutting where it hurts the least and making smart investments in people, property and technology. Fortunately, many of the ingredients needed for a fiscally healthy YMCA are already present here in Middle Tennessee. We have a strong balance sheet, with significant cash reserves; we have fantastic relationships with our lenders, donors and vendors; and we have exceptional staff who are committed to do whatever is necessary to sustain our legacy of strengthening community through Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. Warm regards,
Rob Ivy Chief Financial Officer

Marty joined the YMCA of Middle Tennessee board of directors in 2000 and has remained a dedicated volunteer leader for nearly 14 years. When he accepted the chairmanship in 2012, he joined hands with our staff to embark on a long-term financial sustainability study that resulted in the restructuring of our membership centers in 2013. Although the decisions made in the restructuring were extremely difficult ones, Marty was a constant source of strength and wise counsel who was ever mindful of the importance of ensuring the fiscal health of our nonprofit for years to come. We can think of no one who was more dedicated to leading our Y during a pivotal time in its history. Moreover, he extended his term as chair into 2014 to allow for continuity of leadership during our CEO search and transition. Marty’s service to the YMCA is just one of the many ways he supports our community. Throughout his 38-year career with AT&T he served as a volunteer leader with countless organizations, and he has continued to do so following his retirement as President of AT&T Tennessee in 2007. Marty served as the founding chairman of the Music City Center Coalition, formed in 2003 as a community-led effort to build a new convention center. He currently serves as chairman of the Convention Center Authority which was responsible for financing, constructing and now operating the new Music City Center. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Belmont University and is past chair of a number of community boards including the Adventure Science Center, Baptist/Saint Thomas Hospital Foundation Board, Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, Family and Children’s Service, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau and PENCIL Foundation. He has also served on the boards of the Arts and Business Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, The Nashville Symphony and Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music. In addition, Marty currently serves as a founding board member and lead director of Avenue Bank, board member of Genesco, board member of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee, board member of Lee Company and chairman of the board of Harpeth Companies, an investment banking, consulting and ventures group. Marty’s leadership by example has earned him countless accolades in the community, including the Diabetes Association’s “Father of the Year” (2006), Kiwanis Club’s “Outstanding Nashvillian of the Year” (2006), Operation Andrew Group’s Business Man of the Year / Joe & Honey Rodgers Leadership Award (2010) and Boy Scouts’ Silver Beaver Award (2004). He was inducted into the St. Thomas Hospital’s Seton Society in 2006. In 2012 he was honored by Belmont University with the naming of Dickens Hall and he was named Nashvillian of the Year by Easter Seals Tennessee in 2013. Marty is a native of North Carolina and holds a bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University and a Masters of Business Administration from Georgia State University. He and his wife, Betty, have two sons. John, wife Sherri, and their daughter Ally Grace and son Bo live in Atlanta, as do Jamey and his wife Sara. 13
2013 H.G. Hill Jr. Philanthropic Award
SANDRA AND RICHARD FULTON
In 2013, the YMCA Foundation of Middle Tennessee presented its highest honor, the H.G. Hill Jr. Philanthropic Award, to longtime supporters Sandra and Richard Fulton. An east Nashville native, Richard Fulton first became involved with the Y when he was hired to be the very first staff member at what eventually became the East Nashville YMCA. Thanks to a young Fulton, the Y began offering family-oriented programs in the area long before the current wellness center was built on Gallatin Road. Fulton would go on to be elected to the Tennessee state senate in 1954, then to the U.S. House of Representatives, and he would eventually serve three terms as Mayor of Nashville, holding the post from 1975 to 1987.

Sandra Fulton, a former state commissioner of tourism, served as the YMCA of Middle Tennessee’s top volunteer leader in 1988 and 1989, becoming the second woman to serve as association board chair.

Allison has been a blessing to our center since she was a program participant in middle school. We watched her grow and blossom into a true servant leader who was eventually elected Youth Governor by her peers and who continued to return to our conferences as a volunteer year after year. We were blessed to have her on our staff team after she graduated from college and are grateful that she continues to volunteer with us even though she’s moved on to new career opportunities. Now a member of our board, she’s just a phone call away and always answers with a willingness to serve. —Susan Moriarty

Lisa’s impact on our center may be more profound than that of any other staff person, member or volunteer. Since joining our board, she has shared the Y story with all those willing to hear it, and even those who aren’t! Her advocacy and passion for our mission has led to numerous partnerships benefitting both our YMCA and the surrounding community. Her passion is contagious—she has volunteered what little free time she has to work with our youth mentoring and Restore Ministries programs, and her genuine love and compassion for all of God’s children comes across in even the briefest of meetings. Simply put, she’s one of the best volunteers around.—Ryan Spiehler

In her tenure on our board, Stacy consistently exemplified volunteerism at its finest. Her passion for health and desire to invest in the east Nashville community led her to become involved at the Y as a member, donor, friend and volunteer. She often helped serve the homeless meals at our Feed the Need gathering, and as the chair of our Tomato 5K committee, she joined with other volunteers to host our largest race ever, with 1,600 runners. She’s made a lasting impact on our annual campaign and continues to be a vibrant member. You’ll often find her enjoying a spin class or taking her much loved greyhound on a run.

The bus service that Mr. Taylor and Taylor Motors provide to our youth allows them to enjoy so many opportunities that they otherwise may never get to experience. For many of the disadvantaged youth we serve in our before, after and out-of-school programs, summer field trips with the Y are the only chance they have to see things outside of their neighborhood environment.
