Financial Assistance

Through the generosity of our members, staff and community, the YMCA is able to provide financial assistance for kids and families who need us most.  We want to help people of all ages and from all walks of life to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure.

To apply for financial assistance, please review the following requirements, fill out the application in the brochure and include the required documentation.  We use a sliding fee scale based on total household income and the number of household members. We require supporting documentation to verify household size and income, and we consider special circumstances when providing assistance.
