YMCA Emergency Assistance Fund.
Y Professionals and Retirees
Supporting Each Other.
The YMCA Emergency Assistance Fund provides financial support to Y professionals and retirees in their hour of need.
We are pleased to announce that applications are open. All current YMCA staff with six (6) months of verified employment in good standing will be eligible to apply for EAF grants. (Learn more, including Y alumni/retiree eligibility) We will keep applications open until funds are exhausted.
We know how generously Y professionals and members of YMCA Alumni give of their time to others. By donating to EAF, we can strengthen our ability to be there for each other.
​
In 2024, EAF provided 589 grants totaling $638,000. This was the most we ever granted, due to the great needs following several devastating hurricanes. We couldn't do this without the support of people just like you. Please donate today so we can be there for Y colleagues in need tomorrow.
If you'd rather donate by check, mail your donation to:
