FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
STEWARDS OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP FEES AND CHARITABLE GIFTS
Our board of directors and staff are stewards of the resources you provide with your membership dues and our donors provide through charitable gifts. We take this responsibility seriously.
Membership fees continue to be our largest source of revenue. They’re vital for the basic costs of operating the Y such as personnel, utilities, insurance and supplies. Currently, we have approximately 65% of the members we had pre-pandemic. This is a substantial loss of revenue for us. And, while it reduces some of our costs, the reduction isn’t proportional.
At the same time, like everywhere else, we’re experiencing rising costs. Wage costs have increased as have supplies and equipment. The Consumer Price Index shows a rise of 5.4% over the last 12 months. We’ve certainly noticed it. At the same time, we haven’t increased membership fees since January, 2019. Fees will increase as of January 1, 2022; but by just 3%. This increase averages just $1.54 per month (including sales tax), with youth memberships increasing just $.50 per month and the average household just $1.96. We appreciate your understanding of the need for this small increase. Please click here to review our recent newsletter that also includes the fee increases in January.
