At the YMCA, we know that lasting personal and social change comes when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening our community — in mind, body and spirit — is our cause. Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors to make sure everyone has the opportunity to be the best they can be.
The Y’s financial assistance program is 100% funded by tax-deductible donations. Membership fees cover our facilities, salaries, and operations but do not fund our financial assistance programs. To make our programs and services available to all, we need your support so that no one is turned away.
Why do we provide financial assistance and scholarships to those with demonstrated need?
When financial difficulties stretch individual and family budgets too thin, the need for YMCA programs remains and may even be more crucial in some instances. Last year, we provided more than 800 families with financial assistance, yet more and more turn to us for assistance as their dollar does not stretch as far as it used to, but their health is still a priority as well as the safety and care of their children.
