 Who is eligible for financial assistance?
Individuals and families who would like to take part in YMCA programs but cannot afford to pay full fees are eligible to apply for financial assistance.
How can I obtain financial assistance?
It's easy to apply for financial assistance.
Download and complete a financial assistance application, include the
amount of assistance you need, attach the required documentation
and return it to the Y. A YMCA representative will
contact you within two weeks to review the outcome of your
application.
Which
programs can I join?
Assistance
is available for most YMCA programs, including Individual,
Family and Active Older
Adult Facility
memberships, as well as childcare, camp, youth sports,
swim lessons and special classes.
How
much assistance will I receive?
The amount of assistance is determined by the program and the extent of the individual or family need which is determined by a sliding scale base on family income and size.
How long will assistance continue?
Assistance is generally granted for a specific time period or for the duration of a program. If assistance is still needed after the time has expired you may request a renewal of assistance. |
Will
my application be
confidential?
Financial Assistance Applications are held in complete confidence and are seen only by YMCA administrative staff. Individuals receiving assistance receive the same program services as those paying full fees.
May
I do anything in return?
Yes! At the YMCA youth and adults are
encouraged to volunteer. Contact your YMCA to see what volunteer opportunities are available. Also, YMCA donors appreciate learning how their contributions are used. Submitting
a short note about how you or your family benefited from
the financial assistance is always appreciated.
Who
provides the funds?
The Financial Assistance Program is
made possible through generous contributions to the YMCA’s
Annual Community Support Campaign, along with corporate
and foundation grants and the YMCA Endowment Fund.
