FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Opening Doors.
The YMCA of Central Virginia is a nonprofit, community-based, health and human services organization committed to helping people achieve their full potential in spirit, mind and body. The YMCA’s doors are open to people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes.
The OPEN DOORS program follows a sliding fee scale, designed to fit each individual’s financial situation. In order to foster a sense of ownership in the YMCA, you will be asked to pay some portion of the fees.
The funds for OPEN DOORS are made possible through the generosity of our members and supporting organizations.
In order to provide financial assistance in a fair and consistent manner, the YMCA of Central Virginia requires that individuals provide the requested information on the attached form regarding income, family size and expenses. All personal information is kept confidential. The YMCA will review assistance eligibility after a six-month period; at that time, you will be required to reapply and/or your fees may be subject to change. If you do not reapply, your enrollment will be terminated. You may leave the OPEN DOORS program to become a full-paying member without incurring a joining fee at any time.
To process your application,
we must have the following information:
Copy of last year’s tax return
OR
Copy of last two pay stubs/LES (military) - from all employers
OR
Copy of social security or disability checks (or copy of bank statements
showing amount of automatic monthly deposit)
Documentation of any Federal Assistance such as food
stamps, rent subsidy, or Aid to Dependent Children cash assistance
Child support agreement
NOTE: If you do not have a copy of your tax return,
you may obtain one by calling the Internal Revenue Service or your
tax preparer. If you did not file taxes last year please submit
a letter explaining your personal situation.
A YMCA director will determine financial assistance
eligibility after thoroughly reviewing your application. Your application
will not be accepted or processed until all required documents are
provided. Please allow two weeks (10 business days) to process your
application. Assistance will be awarded on a first come, first served
basis, subject to available funds and eligibility. If applying for
childcare financial assistance, you must be working or attending
school. Appropriate documentation is required.
