Why Donate to the YW

When you give a gift to the YW, you’ll help to improve the lives of thousands of women and families in our community.

You’ll help women find supportive housing and leave a life of homelessness.
You’ll help low-income women and their families access affordable housing.
You’ll help improve the life of local girls and youth, gain self-confidence and a sense of belonging in our community.
You’ll help build entrepreneurial skills in women who’ve faced barriers to employment to gain economic security.
You’ll help parents access quality licensed childcare, giving them the peace of mind.

Individual Giving

We work with you to find an option that’s best suited to your situation – monthly giving, tribute gifts, gifts in your will and gifts of securities.

Monthly Giving – Once a month, we will withdraw an amount you specify from your VISA or MasterCard.
Tribute Gifts – When you make a gift to the YW in someone’s name, we will send cards to those you have honoured or the families of those you have remembered.
Gifts in Your Will – A gift in your will is a way for a person of even modest means to make a substantial gift to the YW. For more information about making a gift in your will, please see your financial advisor.
Gifts of Securities – Donating publicly traded securities or mutual funds allows you to amplify the impact of your gift.

To make a gift of securities, please complete our securities donation form and send a copy to your broker.
