FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Y is for ALL!
The Y is for people of all genders, faiths, races, abilities, ages, and incomes. We believe in providing membership and program services to all who desire to participate. Thanks to the United Way and the Le Mars YMCA's Annual Campaign, financial assistance is available for those in need within our available resources.
What is the Financial Assistance Program?
The Le Mars YMCA Financial Assistance Program provides families or individuals in need with financial support to participate in the Y’s membership and program activities.
How is the financial assistance amount be determined?
We have a sliding fee scale, based on total household income which assists in determining the amount of assistance.
How long does the financial assistance continue?
The need for financial assistance is reassessed every twelve months.
How is confidential information handled?
Only you and the assisting Y staff will have knowledge of the financial assistance application.
How quickly can I expect to receive financial assistance?
This will depend on how quickly you complete the Financial Assistance Application, gather the requested documents and turn in the application to the YMCA. After the financial assistance representative receives the information, you will receive a call within a week to ten days.
How do I apply?
Complete the confidential application form and return it to the YMCA’s front desk. Please remember to include required documentation.
What is the required documentation? A proof of income with either your most recent tax return or past 60 days of pay stubs. Any other forms of income such as Supplemental Support, alimony, & child support must be turned in as well.
Forms can be found: at the YMCA, can be printed online, or can be filled out online.
Forever here for YOU!
