The Mankato Family YMCA makes every effort to provide membership services to all who wish to participate.  The YMCA’s financial assistance program, supported in part through contributions to the Strong Kids Campaign and the United Way, provides memberships for those in need within our available resources.

Individuals or families not able to pay the full membership fee may be given a membership as determined by our guidelines.  All requests for financial assistance must provide the following information for review and approval:

Required

• A copy of the previous year’s 1040 tax return (showing Adjusted Gross Income)

     Or

• Social Security Benefits Verification Form (copy of approval page reflecting amount)

Optional

• Child Support/spousal maintenance (copy of divorce decree, specific to pages only which reflect amounts to be paid)
• Diability/Unemployment benefits
• Pension payments
• Any other income

**Please note, pay stubs are no longer an acceptable form of proof of income

Also, please make note or include any additional information which may have bearing on your application.  For example, make note of extraordinary medical expenses or any other extreme circumstances.

You will be contacted regarding the status of your financial assistance application within 10 days of application receipt.  If you have additional questions, please contact Liz Hageman at 387-8255
