The Penobscot Bay YMCA is a not-for-profit health and human services organization
committed to helping people grow in spirit, mind, and body and serving people of all ages,
backgrounds, abilities, and incomes. The YMCA is a community-based organization and
believes that its programs and services should be available to everyone. That's why the YMCA
offers financial assistance that is designed to fit each individual's financial situation. Over the
years, we have found that the YMCA's financial assistance program is most utilized by:

Youth referred by schools, churches, and organizations
Adults who are temporarily out of work
Those who are divorced and are experiencing financial hardships
People on fixed incomes
People who are overwhelmed by medical bills
Those experiencing other financial hardships

The Penobscot Bay YMCA requires that individuals provide the requested information
regarding income, family size, etc, so that we can provide financial assistance in a fair and
consistent manner. The YMCA requires that individuals reapply every year or when requested
by the Executive Director to keep the information on their application updated.
