Chargebacks are still significantly higher compared to 2019 baseline
The August chargeback percentage for YMCAs, JCCs, and other organizations was 0.25%, significantly higher than the 0.03-0.05% baseline. This number has decreased from the the shutdown average of 0.7%. However, the fact that this percentage is high shows that the nation is still recovering from the economic impact from
the pandemic, and many members are still struggling.
Key Takeaways
While total revenue has improved month over month, membership revenue continues to decline with only 26.8% of total revenue sourced by membership in August, compared to 45.9% in July. On the flip side, childcare and camp revenue sources has increased to 56.1% of total revenue, jumping 20% from the first Insights and Impact report in June. This proves that YMCAs, JCCs, and community centers have been able to pivot their childcare offerings to
serve the ever-changing needs of the community and find new revenue sources.

juggling busier schedules with at-home options.
