Financial Assistance
The Y is a community building organization for all. Our financial assistance program ensures anyone can participate in Y programs, despite the inability to pay the full program or membership fees.
We use a sliding fee scale based on total household income and the number of household members. We require supporting documentation to verify household income, and we consider special circumstances when providing assistance. Each applicant’s approval is based on income and the number of people in the household. We understand your financial records may not contain the entire picture of your financial needs. Please include any and all information you feel is applicable to your current situation.
If you believe you may qualify, please reach out to your local Y. You will be asked to submit income verification documents.
Proof of Income
Acceptable documents to verify household income include:
- 1040 Form
- Income Tax Return
- W-2 Form
- Pay Stubs
- Social Security/Disability Statements
- Letter of Employment
- Student Financial Aid Letter
- Unemployment Statement
Please make sure that the documentation you provide as proof of income is the most up-to-date available.
