Financial Assistance
MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL
WE GET IT!
One of the biggest challenges for our communities today is the increased cost of living AND the additional burden many face.
We believe that every family and individual deserves the opportunity to enjoy the YMCA and connect with their community again.
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 consider special circumstances when providing assistance. Eligible recipients are expected to be responsible for a percentage of the membership cost. Qualification for YMCA financial assistance for membership is reviewed and determined individually.
HOW DO I APPLY?
- Step 1:
Stop by the Welcome Center for a tour and to get a Financial Aid Application.
- Step 2:
Complete the application, gather documentation, and return to Member Services. You can also email any supporting documentation to Membership Director Brittaney Beck at bbeck@k3ymca.org
- Step 3:
Your documentation will be reviewed within 10 business days, and a YMCA staff member will contact you.
- Step 4:
If eligible, you will be asked to complete a membership application. Membership fees must be paid to begin your membership.
- Step 5:
Financial assistance expires every year. Repeat step 2 to renew your membership.
We count on the generosity of our members and donors to support the Y’s Financial Assistance program, which focuses on children and teens and provides financial assistance, on a sliding scale fee, to those in times of hardship. Gifts to the financial assistance fund make a huge difference in the lives of children in our community.
Strong Kids = Strong Families = Strong Communities, but it all starts with YOU!
