YMCAs are vital charitable organizations that want all people to feel welcome regardless of their personal circumstances. Perhaps its job loss, an extended illness, divorce – or any number of unforeseen situations – that cause an individual or a family to re-evaluate their involvement at the Y. It’s in these most stressful times that the Y can be most helpful in filling the gaps until they are back on their feet.
We provide financial assistance (FA) for Y membership and program fees to ensure that all people have equal access to Y programs and services. Scholarships are provided for qualifying applicants within our means.
We are able to provide this financial assistance through the generous donations of our members and friends of the Y through our Annual Campaign, as well as annual fundraisers like the Annual Golf Classic & Basket Bonanza. If fees prove to be an obstacle to your Y participation, please fill out the application below.
