Here For All.  Flexible Pricing Options to meet your individual/family needs.

The YMCA is in your community to give everyone an opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. At the Y, no child, family, or adult is turned away. We recognize that for communities to succeed, everyone must be given the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected, and secure.

Flexible Pricing uses the funds raised from the YMCA Annual Campaign to ensure that no one who qualifies is turned away due to their inability to pay because we believe in helping all people lead healthier, happier lives. Whether someone’s hardship arises from a layoff, an illness, or other financial challenges, the YMCA strives to assist anyone in need of our programs and fellowship. While many of our programs serve children, Flexible Pricing also supports individuals and families of all ages.

For more information email info@oshkoshymca.org or call the Y directly and ask to speak to our For All team.  Scroll down for application.  

Flexible Pricing can be applied to memberships for youth, adults, and families that fall within our income guidelines. This option can also be applied to youth programs such as childcare, youth sports, swim lessons, youth recreation, and more. Those individuals or families not able to pay the full membership or program fee may receive Flexible Pricing as determined by the YMCA guidelines.

To apply for Flexible Pricing, you can fill out an application.  Please  print the application or pick one up at the Y then submit it to either YMCA Branch.

• Who is eligible? Any individual or family who has a permanent address in our service area and who finds the cost of the Y does not fit into their monthly budget.  We also encourage you to apply if you are having a short-term financial crisis or a medical emergency. 

• What is FOR ALL? The Oshkosh Y programs and services are available to everyone regardless of ability to pay. We understand that one fee does not fit all. Our FOR ALL Financial Assistance Program offers a flexible pricing option and is designed to meet each individual's financial needs.

• How will the membership assistance amount be determined? FOR ALL Membership assistance will be determined by the number of individuals residing in the household, the combined gross income of individuals living in the household, the Y sliding fee scale and the availability of Y funds.

• How quickly can I expect to receive a response from my application? Applicants will be notified by mail within 5-7 business days once all paperwork is received.
