Make a Gift Today


Your gift means more now than ever.

As public health and safety concerns surrounding COVID-19 continue, your support of YWCA MV has an even more significant impact. Social distancing and isolation have led to one of the busiest years in our history, as demand for our life-saving services nearly doubled from 2019. No matter what, our staff are still working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to provide essential support for our community.

Thank you for your consideration and giving what you can. Your support in any form or amount is integral to helping advance our mission to eliminate racism and empower women.

Please contact our Development Department for information on how best to make your donation:
