Help to Advance Gender Equity
Transform Lives with Individual Giving
Your support empowers cis and trans women, girls, non-binary, and Two-Spirit individuals in Cambridge.
Why Donate?
“Our community is stronger, one individual at a time, thanks to the YWCA’s many programs.”
Let's Build A Stronger Community
Support Us
By giving, you become a part of our efforts to advance gender equity in many ways. You also receive exclusive opportunities to engage with the community and see the impact of your support.
Your support could help more women learn new skills in STEM, participate in and graduate from our Small Steps to Success employment program, or access crucial child care for their families.
All monetary donations above $20 are eligible for tax receipts and invested directly into programs to support participants and prevent gender-based violence in Cambridge.
Donations keep our vital programs and services running for the people in our community who need them most.
Ways to Give
Your donation can support our programs and gender-based violence prevention at YWCA Cambridge.
By helping fund our work, you can be part of remarkable outcomes: helping us welcome more than 600 youth to Summer Camp every year, or teaching over 1000 individuals financial literacy or employment skills.
Make a one-time donation today, for yourself or in honour of someone special.
Monthly gifts to YWCA Cambridge support the longevity of our programs, allowing us to plan and work towards long-term solutions — such as our Small Steps to Success employment program, which has a 99% graduation rate.
As a monthly donor, you get to build relationships with those who benefit from your support and receive regular updates so you can understand the impact on the community.
From household items to art supplies, many in-kind gifts can help support programming. Your items help offset costs associated with required materials and can be used in our youth and pre-employment programs, child care programming, and more.
Everyone has a legacy to leave and a story to tell.
You may want to honour a friend or family member by making a memorial gift in their name. Please contact us to inquire about memorial gifts.
You can also choose to include a Legacy Gift to YWCA Cambridge in your will, leaving a meaningful impact in your community forever — without taking away the resources needed for your family.
