Financial Assistance
Making Health & Wellness Accessible to All
The Saratoga Regional YMCA is committed to ensuring everyone has access to membership and programs—regardless of financial circumstances.
As a nonprofit, the Y works to make sure cost is never a barrier to health, wellness, or community. Through our Financial Assistance Program, we provide reduced membership and program fees to children, teens, adults, and families who qualify.
Assistance is based on a sliding fee scale that takes into account household income, size, and extenuating circumstances. This ensures support is fair, flexible, and accessible to all who need it.
How It Works
Step 1: Apply
Complete the online form and provide proof of income and household size.
Step 2: Review
Applications are reviewed within three business days, and applicants will be contacted with next steps.
Step 3: Award
If approved, financial assistance is applied to reduce the cost of your membership or program fees. Awards vary based on individual needs and circumstances.
What Will My Assistance Contribution Be?
Financial assistance is awarded on a sliding fee scale and can be applied to a portion of the cost of a membership or program. Applicants may be asked to pay a portion of fees based on where they fall on the scale. Financial assistance determinations are based on household gross income and household size. Extenuating circumstances may be considered.
