 Financial Assistance The YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties is FOR ALL - no one should be denied a place in a Y program or our membership community for financial reasons. Financial assistance is provided to those who qualify. Awards are granted on a sliding scale based on total household income and number of dependents. We count on the generous support of our donors to make this possible. Click HERE to Download a Financial Assistance Application (PDF) Financial Assistance FAQ's Q. What is YMCA financial assistance? A. The Y believes in providing membership and program services to all who desire to participate. Our financial assistance program, funded by the annual Strong Kids Campaign, uses all available resources to provide support to those who have financial need and qualify for assistance. Q. Who is eligible for YMCA financial assistance? A. Anyone may apply for financial assistance. Approval of the application is made on an individual basis. The Y uses a sliding-scale guideline based on total annual household income and number of dependents. Q. Is it possible to join the Y for free? A. The Y believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed when one contributes to the cost of their YMCA involvement. Therefore, applicants will be asked to pay a portion of the fee for the requested service. Q. If I receive YMCA financial assistance, what is expected of me? A. Upon approval of financial assistance, an award letter will be provided that defines the amount of the fee covered by the Y and the portion that you will need to pay. It will also outline conditions of the arrangement, such as when the award expires and payment due dates. Our expectation is that you take full advantage of the assistance by using the membership, program or service regularly, so an attendance requirement is also required. Q. How will the financial assistance amount be determined, and how quickly can I expect to receive financial assistance? A. Awards are determined on an individual basis using a sliding-scale guideline based on total annual household income and number of dependents. Once the financial assistance application and all required documents have been submitted, the Y will contact you within two weeks to review the outcome of your application. Q. How long will the financial assistance continue? A. Need for financial assistance is assessed at the time of request and reviewed on a regular basis. Q. Who will be reviewing my application? A. The financial assistance coordinator and the VP of Finance are the only people who will review your application. All information is handled confidentially. Q. May I do anything in return for this assistance? A. Yes! At the Y, youth and adults are encouraged to volunteer. Also, our donors appreciate learning how their contributions are used. Submitting a short note about how you or your family benefited from the financial assistance is appreciated. |
