Financial Assistance Application
Since 1858, the YMCA of Frederick County has lived its mission to build health of spirit, mind and body for all and to
improve the quality of life children, teens, adults, seniors, and families throughout Frederick County and the
surrounding region. At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. By encouraging youth development, promoting
healthy living and fostering social responsibility the Y is positively impacting people and communities. Every day, we
work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has an
opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Deeply rooted in our community, it is the mission of the Y to make it affordable for all. Membership and programs are
available to all regardless of age, income, ability, race or religion. Based on available resources and sliding scale
eligibility, the Y will not turn anyone away due to an inability to pay our full fees. Our financial assistance program
provides aid based on need through an easy application process. Much of the financial assistance dollars shared are
made possible through the generosity of those who contribute to our Annual Campaign.
