Young Men's Christian Association

The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Focused on community-based service, the YMCA provides comprehensive programs that support physical, mental, and social well-being across diverse populations. The Grand Forks YMCA Division, operating as Altru Family Ymca, is registered as a non-profit organization in the federal System for Award Management (SAM.gov), with registration active through March 29, 2024. While the organization does not hold a federal contract vehicle, it has been successful in receiving federal grant sub-awards, demonstrating its capacity to support community-focused initiatives.

The Altru Family Ymca has recently received federal grant sub-awards from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, specifically related to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). These sub-awards, dated March 11, 2025, and May 12, 2025, indicate the organization's involvement in providing meal services through the CACFP/FCCH (Family Child Care Home) Meals program and CACFP CIL (likely referring to a specific component of child nutrition services). These grant awards suggest the YMCA's critical role in supporting nutritional programs for children and potentially adult care facilities, working in partnership with state-level public instruction departments to ensure food security and nutrition for vulnerable populations. The sub-awards demonstrate the organization's commitment to leveraging federal grant funding to provide essential community services that support child nutrition and care.
