YMCA Open Doors Financial Assistance Program

The YMCA of the Suncoast is a not-for-profit health and human services organization committed to helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. YMCAs are here to serve people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes. The YMCA is community-based and believes that its programs and services should be available to everyone. That¹s why we offer an Open Doors Financial Assistance Program, which is a sliding fee scale designed to fit each individual¹s financial situation. Charitable contributions to the YMCA enable us to provide financial assistance on a sliding scale. We promise that everyone who qualifies will receive assistance to the greatest extent possible based on the availability of funds.

Over the years, we have found that the Open Doors program is most utilized by:

  • Youth referred by schools, churches and organizations
  • Adults who are temporarily out of work
  • Those who are divorced and are experiencing financial hardships
  • People on fixed incomes
  • People who are overwhelmed by medical bills
  • Those experiencing other financial hardships

If you would like to obtain more information on our Open Doors Financial Assistance program, contact us!

Membership renewals in subsequent six-month intervals (up to 12 or 18 months depending on eligibility) will be funded based on a military family’s or service member’s ability to meet the participation requirement of eight visits to a YMCA each month.

 

About the YMCA Outreach Initiative

YMCA of the USA, the Armed Services YMCA and the Department of Defense have launched the YMCA Military Outreach Initiative to address the needs of families of deployed military personnel who live far from a military installation and require access to child development, family strengthening, and health and well-being programming.

The YMCA Military Outreach Initiative leverages the YMCA movement’s national scale and mission to engage families facing the hardship and uncertainty of military deployment. The nation’s 2,686 YMCAs have the unique capacity to respond to the needs of this widely dispersed population through supportive, community-based programs that foster a healthy spirit, mind and body.
