Financial Assistance

HERE FOR ALL

Everyone belongs at the Y. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on individuals and families in need. As a nonprofit organization, we offer financial assistance to ensure our programs and services are accessible to all. This support is made possible through the generosity of donors who contribute to the YMCA’s Annual Campaign — with 100% of donations directly benefiting kids, adults, and families in our communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our financial assistance program helps make YMCA membership and programs more affordable for those who qualify. Eligible individuals and families can receive up to a 50% discount on membership and fees for programs like after-school care, sports, camp, and community health initiatives.

Please allow up to 10 business days for processing.

Once approved, assistance automatically expires after 12 months at which time all fees will revert to standard rates. To reapply, applicants are required to submit a new form along with updated documentation. If you are applying for assistance for a program, it is recommended that you submit your application at least two weeks before the start date of the program to ensure timely processing.

If we have any questions, or to notify you of your application status, we will contact you by email. Emails will initiate from our [email protected] address so please be sure to check your spam folder if you are expecting communication.

Scholarships are awarded based on HOUSEHOLD income. The income of everyone living in the household,
regardless of whether or not they are included in the membership, contributes to the overall financial status of the household and must be considered to fairly determine eligibility.

Adding members to the account after it has been approved will require additional documentation and may require a
new application.
