The YMCA of the Capital Area offers financial assistance for membership and programs to qualified members. We are community based and believe that our programs should be available to everyone and that no one should be turned away because of their inability to pay. Our Financial Assistance Program is made possible because caring people and businesses in our communities fund the program through our Annual Campaign. Financial Assistance is available on a sliding scale that is based on family size and household income.

A copy of your most recent Internal Revenue Service tax statement (tax return) and the last three pay stubs of all working adults in your household must be included to process the application. Your SSI Allocation statement and any unemployment documents (if applicable) must also be included. Include any other documentation that supports your current income. (This information will be held confidential). Students enrolled in college must provide a copy of their most recent FAFSA application and college admissions verification.

If you need assistance completing the application, please work with our Member Service Team or a team member at the front desk in one of our branches. Update: Need a hand with the application? Just stop by the front desk or connect with our Member Services Team – we’re here to help!
