Financial Assistance Application

Financial Assistance Application

Thank you for applying for Financial Assistance to the Westport Weston Family YMCA. Please note that we review all applications very carefully, and due to the high volume of applications we receive while assistance cannot be guaranteed, we will work as best we can to assist you and your family.
Who Can Apply for Financial Assistance?
While anyone can apply at any time for financial assistance, because there are YMCA’s outside of our service area (Westport & Weston), it is recommended that residents residing in other locations please apply first at the YMCA which represents your area of service.

Financial Assistance qualifications are good for membership and select programs. For program financial assistance, the max assistance offered is 50%, and please check with the appropriate Program Director or Brian Marazzi, Director of Membership to inquire if your programs of interest accept financial assistance.

Where to Apply:
- Residents of Westport, Weston: Westport Weston Family YMCA
- Residents of Easton, Norwalk, and Wilton: Riverbrook YMCA in Wilton
- Residents of Fairfield, Southport: Fairfield YMCA
- Residents of Bridgeport: Fairfield or Stratford YMCA
- Residents of Darien: Darien YMCA
- Residents of New Canaan: New Canaan YMCA
- Residents of Stamford: Stamford YMCA
Please note that reciprocal privileges permit members from YMCA’s throughout the country to visit the Westport Weston Family YMCA 4x per month.
