In order to foster a sense of ownership in the Y, you will be asked to pay some portion of the fees for membership and/or programs. *Individuals with a special circumstances, such as a job loss or other financial challenges, are also encouraged to apply for assistance.

The funds available for Your Own Unique Plan are made possible through the generosity of our members and donors through the Community Partners annual support campaign.

In order to provide financial assistance in a fair and consistent manner, the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA requires that individuals provide the requested information, on the financial assistance application, regarding income, family size, and expenses. All personal information is kept confidential. The Y will review assistance eligibility on an annual basis. All financial assistance recipients must re-apply each year and fees are subject to change year to year. If you do not re-apply when requested, your enrollment will be terminated.

A Y Director will determine financial assistance eligibility after thoroughly reviewing your application. Your application will not be processed until all required documents are provided. Please allow two to three weeks for processing. Upon approval of your application, a letter will be sent to you informing you of your approval and will list the amount of your portion of the fee.
