No one is denied membership or program participation due to their inability to pay. Financial assistance is provided to the extent that funds are available.  The amount of financial assistance is determined based on a sliding scale, and documentation is required of certain financial information.  Funds used for financial assistance come from United Way (for child care) and other donors (for membership and programs other than child care).  

How to apply for financial assistance:

1.  Fill out an application.  (Pick one up at our Member Service Desk anytime we are open.)

2.  Mail or bring application back to the YMCA, with copies of all necessary financial records.

• Income tax form 1040/1040A, etc. for the most recent year.
• A month’s worth of paycheck stubs from each adult in the household.
• Case Profile Report (CAP 2) from SRS office, Social Security award benefit letter for current year, Disability letter, retirement, unemployment or other subsidy.
• Child support (KPC), legal guardianship, or foster care documents.
• Divorce decree showing alimony if no longer married.

If you did not file taxes last year, you will need to submit an IRS 4506-T non-filing status form, to obtain this form call 1-800-829-1040.

After your application and necessary documents have been returned to the YMCA it will take up to 2 weeks to process your application.  You will receive a letter in the mail stating your level of assistance.
