Financial Assistance for Membership

Here for All

Thanks to the generosity of donors to our Annual Campaign, the YMCA of the Honolulu provides financial assistance for individuals and families who cannot afford the full cost of a Y membership or program. We also offer financial assistance for YMCA Programs.

Using our Income-Based Rate Scale calculator below, your monthly rate may be reduced based on your annual income, household size, and availability of financial assistance funds.

Financial aid is available for individuals earning less than $60,000 per household per year to families of 4 earning less than $100,000 per household per year.
