open arms financial assistance

The YMCA believes that every person should have an opportunity to participate in the Y and pursue their own personal goals regardless of skill or financial level. Because of our service and dedication to our community, we offer membership and program funding through our Open Arms program.  Open Arms program approval is based on a sliding fee scale designed to fit individual financial situations. Available funding is based on personal need, enrollment, and our financial resources.  Click here to download an Open Arms financial assistance application for membership.

Open Arms Class Scholarship Form
Please use the form below for YMCA class scholarships only. All requests are reviewed during the first week of online registration only. The class participant will be registered for the class at the time of this forms submission, given there is still space available in the class. Forms submitted beyond each class registration period deadline may not receive scholarship consideration, and members are subject to paying the balance due in full. The Open Arms Coordinator will contact the family by email or telephone regarding class scholarship approval or denial. You must have complete current income verification on file to qualify for a class/program scholarship. If you have any questions regarding this form or the Open Arms program,  please contact Jasmine M. Patton, Open Arms Coordinator, at jpatton@annarborymca.org; phone: (734) 661-8007; fax: (734) 661-8060.
