The Auburn Valley YMCA provides financial assistance to the extent possible to those in need. Eligibility is determined by taking your gross annual household income (i.e. income before taxes and deductions) and applying that amount to the federal poverty level guidelines. We also take into consideration how many people are supported by that income. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed and you will be informed of your membership subsidy. Assistance will be granted on a first come, first served basis. Financial Assistance is granted for a maximum of one year. At the end of each year, you will need to re-apply for financial assistance.Financial Assistance Form
