Financial Assistance

Everyone deserves the opportunity to belong. The Y is here to make that possible.

Belonging Shouldn’t Have Barriers

At the YMCA of Coastal Carolina, we believe everyone — regardless of age, income, or background — should have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

That’s why we offer income-based financial assistance for memberships and programs. Through the generosity of our donors and community partners, we ensure that cost is never a barrier to belonging.

When you apply, you’re not asking for charity — you’re joining a community that believes in helping one another.
