Who is Eligibile for Financial Assistance?

The YMCA of Broward County is a not-for-profit agency serving the needs of our community.  Our mission is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body.     In order to extend participation to more of the community, we provide assistance to those in financial need. 

  

Eligibility

• Assistance is granted on the basis of financial need.  We consider household income and number of legal dependents as primary criteria.  Financial assistance is based on a sliding scale.
• The YMCA believes that a sense of ownership and pride is developed if the member contributes to the cost of his/her involvement.  Therefore, all financial assistance recipients will pay a percentage of the membership and program fees.
• Financial Assistance is granted for one year.  Upon expiration, the recipient must reapply with current information for the upcoming year.
