FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EVERYONE IS WELCOME Family membership is defined as two adults and their dependent children under age 18 who live in the same household, and children under the age of 26, residing at home or in college with proper ID. The YMCA Financial Assistance program is another way the Y fulfills our mission to serve all people. At the Y, no one is turned away for an inability to pay. The Y provides financial assistance to youth, families and individuals who do not have the resources to pay the full membership or program fee. Assistance is provided for qualifying participants. Questions regarding financial assistance should be directed to Barb Herman, Membership Manager at 412-741-9622 ext. 131, or Kaylyn Brice, Child Care Account Manager at 412-741-9622 ext. 119.

CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FEE Financial Assistance, supported by the Annual Campaign, offers programs and services of the Y to those in need. In 2014, the Sewickley Valley YMCA awarded $400,677 to individuals and families in need. Over the last five years, financial assistance provided by the Sewickley Valley YMCA doubled. The Y believes that members are co-owners of this organization. As a co-owner, each member is asked to pay a one-time joining fee as a mission investment. These dollars are primarily used for non-expansion capital improvements like new equipment, building repairs and preventive maintenance. Generous support of our donors allow us to continue to meet the growing needs of the community. Working families received affordable state-licensed child care so they could work. Kids attended summer camp where they grew in confidence, learned to swim and made memories. Families of all walks of life relied on our Y to live healthier. The fee may be paid in full at the time of joining or divided equally over a three-month period. Previous members who re-join within a three-year time frame will pay a rejoining fee of $100 for family and single parent family, and $75 for adult and senior memberships. Members rejoining beyond the three-year time frame will be required to pay the full Capital Development Fee. Help support the community with a tax-deductible donation or designate the Sewickley Valley YMCA as your charity of choice United Way #286 to help those in need!

My Y Story “The YMCA school age child care has been such a blessing to my granddaughter and to our family! I can go to work knowing she will be well cared for and safe until I arrive to pick her up at the end of the day. To my husband and I, this confidence & sense of security is PRICELESS! I don’t know what I would have done if this program wasn’t available or if I didn’t have the financial help offered by the scholarship program! The scholarship is such a true blessing for those in need.” -Rebecca, grandmother and guardian of a school age child care participant and recipient of financial assistance. As the only state-licensed child care provider that offers financial assistance in the service area of Ambridge Area, Cornell, Moon Area and Quaker Valley school districts, the Y, has become the only safety net for the working poor by providing access to affordable, quality child care. In 2014, the Y awarded $142,068 in financial assistance directly supporting child care tuition of 81 recipients ranging in age from six weeks to fifth grade. 37 Early Child Care and Educational Development Summer Day Camp 75 School Age Child Care and Educational Development 968 Children from at-risk communities in Ambridge and Moon had a free, fun camp experience. 44 Working families received affordable state licensed child care so they could work. $68,519 Supported 217 campers with a summer of fun. Families received financial assistance with before and after school child care tuition. Kids received homework support, enjoyed fun S.T.E.A.M. activities and parents had peace of mind about their child’s safety and development. Individuals and families received assistance so they too could enjoy affordable programs that encourage everyone to stay healthy and active. Support the Y today!
