Financial Assistance Application

The YMCA of the East Bay strives to provide financial assistance to youth and adults, based on individual needs and circumstances.

Before proceeding, please note that you will be asked to provide one of the following forms of income documentation for each adult applicant in the household:
- The first 2 pages of your 2024 Federal Tax Return (Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ),
- CalFresh/Calworks documentation
- A Disability Benefit Statement (If applicable, you may also submit an SSI/SSDI Disbursement Voucher, Unemployment Benefit Statement, or Pension/Retirement Statement in addition to one of the above.)
Dependents must be documented through your tax return or other official paperwork (e.g., birth certificate, guardianship documentation).

Please note that we are unable to accept screen shots, Medi-Cal verification, bank statements, paycheck stubs, W-2s, or 1099s as valid proof of income.
