Financial Assistance for Membership

We believe in providing YMCA membership for all. That's why the YMCA of the Triangle provides financial assistance for children, teens, adults and families who cannot afford the full cost of Y membership.

If you are looking for financial assistance for YMCA programs, we offer that too.

GET STARTED

  1. Download a financial assistance application.
  2. Complete the form, and attach a copy of your most recent tax return or required financial documents.
  3. Return the application and supporting documents to your YMCA.

ALLOCATION

Your information will be held in complete confidence and will be seen only by YMCA staff responsible for financial assistance.

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 we consider special circumstances when providing assistance.

Recipients are typically expected to be responsible for a percentage of the membership cost. Qualification for YMCA financial assistance is reviewed every two years.
