Financial Assistance

Start Your Y Journey and Unlock New Opportunities

The Y is here for all. Financial assistance is available for membership, programs, childcare, and camps thanks to generous donor support of the Y’s Annual Campaign. Our financial assistance program provides access to the YMCA programs and resources to those in need of support.

Open Doors Financial Assistance

Through our Open Doors Financial Assistance program, the Y offers up to 50% off membership and select programs using a sliding scale based on income and household size. Applicants must provide income documentation, such as a recent tax return or two current paycheck stubs. Support is based on verified need and available donated funds.

Child Care Management Solutions (CCMS)

CCMS provides scholarships for childcare to families in Tarrant County who qualify.

Insurance-Based Programs

Multiple insurance programs accepted. Bring your insurance card and visit the Y for details.

Military Camperships

YMCA Camp Carter proudly offers Military Camperships to families currently serving as active duty, deployed, reserve, and veteran service members. Camperships are available for both Day Camp and Overnight Camp and are awarded using a tiered system based on rank and status. We are honored to serve military families and help ensure camp is accessible to those who serve our country. Please note: Military Camperships only apply at YMCA Camp Carter.
