Financial Assistance

At the YMCA of Greater New Orleans, every day, we work side by side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure people and communities. 

Every year, the YMCA raises money to help provide financial assistance to children and families though our Annual Campaign.  Those not able to pay the full fee for membership and programs may be awarded assistance based on their demonstrated ability to pay and the YMCA’s ability to provide funding. Because the demand for financial assistance is great, the YMCA must follow prescribed eligibility guidelines.  Assistance will be awarded on a first come, first served basis, subject to available sources.  Financial assistance is intended for people with limited income and assets or in special circumstances and time of need.
