Financial assistance provides individuals and families the opportunity to participate in the life-changing programs and services offered by the YMCA regardless of age, background, ethnicity, ability, or income. Scholarships are made possible by the generosity of local donors and foundations. Scholarships are typically approved for one year but may be renewed.

Thanks to the generous donors of our Annual Campaign, qualified applicants are approved for Financial Assistance based on a sliding fee scale designed to fit each applicant’s unique financial situation. We’ll consider your gross income, household size, and special circumstances, and then determine an amount up to 50% to align with your unique situation. Our goal is to help everyone who qualifies for financial assistance.
