Proof of Performance: YMCA

Many YMCAs leverage public opinion polling and customer satisfaction research during the planning phases of new construction projects and throughout program development. In fact, Strategic Research Associates has completed dozens of feasibility studies for companies throughout the West, leading to millions of dollars in new construction investments just over the past five years.

 

The accuracy of SRA's research and analysis has helped several YMCAs and communities make critical facility and program decisions.

"The membership projections made by Strategic Research Associates in particular provided extremely accurate and useful information. It was essential to projecting an operating budget for the new facility and extremely helpful to the fundraising effort. Being able to share data obtained through this research with potential donors legitimized our campaign case. Now that the new branch facility has been open for almost a year, I can tell you that the membership projections made by Strategic Research Associates were right on the money."

- Rich Wallis, former CEO, Spokane YMCA.

Jim Everett, CEO of the Boise YMCA, had this to say about the market study we conducted for the YMCA in Caldwell, Idaho.

"We were pleased with all aspects of your work. Not only did you meet all of the deadlines we set, you were also very accessible to us when we had questions. Your report provided all of the information we requested and even some extras that will be helpful to our planning. The summary report and oral presentations were very well done. All information provided to us was clear, concise, and relevant. We believe we received an excellent value for the price."

 

We will continue to be a vendor of choice for many YMCAs as they continue to look at expanding services to meet the ever growing needs of the populations they serve.
