Financial Assistance
It is the philosophy of the YMCA to provide services for any person who desires to participate and understands the benefits of the YMCA, regardless of ability to pay the standard membership or program fee. Those not able to pay the fee may be awarded financial assistance based on the individual need and the ability of the YMCA to fund the subsidy.
Scholarships will be provided to individuals/families based on need and based on the amount of subsidy dollars available. The Fort Worth YMCA obtains funding for scholarships from four primary sources: our Annual Campaign, United Way of Tarrant County, government grants and the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth Endowment, Inc.
