In 1858—61 years before the federal Women’s Suffrage Amendment gave women the right to vote—visionary women established the YWCA to help women from rural areas navigate big cities and find jobs.

The YWCA came to Seattle in 1894. In their time, women leaders—not only in Seattle but throughout King and Snohomish counties—adapted YWCA services to meet emerging needs and promote women’s empowerment.

This is our time. Demand for our services has increased 37 percent in the past two years. We are now helping one in 50 people in King and Snohomish counties cope with and overcome economic insecurity, homelessness, domestic violence, discrimination, a job loss or lack of health care. And, the people most in need of our services are the least able to pay for them: 98 percent are low-income. 88 percent are women and children. 62 percent are people of color.

We hope that the need for these comprehensive community services may one day diminish. In the meantime, your support makes it possible for women and their family members to confront complex challenges today. Thank you.

dear friends,

Sue SherbrookeChief Executive Officer

Molly HanlonBoard Chair

“If I think about the two great waves of social change… we had the abolitionist and the suffragist era… And what is the one institution that has carried the heart, and the meaning, and been true to these great missions between those two waves and continued? It is the YWCA.”gloria Steinem, Social Activist and Writer speaking at the 2010 YWCA Seattle Inspire Luncheon

Between 2007 and 2009, the number of people helped by the YWCA increased 37 percent – many people homeless for the first time. In that same period, more than $1 million in funding disappeared.

To continue meeting the growing needs in our region, the YWCA had to make a choice between temporary or permanent solutions. We chose to commit to bold, permanent solutions and create a powerful response to growing needs through Women empowered (We): A YWCA Community Campaign.

For more information about the We Campaign: Colleen Bromen | cbromen@ywcaworks.org | 206.461.4450.

investing in the future of the ywcanow is the time to strengthen our community’s foundation by investing in the positive potential of women. When we ensure all women have access to affordable housing, education and job training, child care, domestic violence resources and health services, we make their families healthier, better fed, more economically and emotionally stable, which in turn benefits and sustains our entire community for decades to come.

$26.5 million in operating, capital and

endowment funds for

the YWCA

By December 2012, We will raise:

$10.2 million Increase affordable housing, child care and community services that will add to the vibrancy and diversity of our region by building the YWCA Family Village at Issaquah.

$16.3 million Transform lives by supporting proven, effective YWCA programs that serve more than 50,000 people in two counties each year.

100 percent of the YWCA Board of Directors has donated to the WE Campaign.

Economic self-sufficiency · 21,997 persons were helped by YWCA adult employment

services, Dress for Success Seattle® and YWCA Working Wardrobe clothing services.

· 9,341 women and men received training and support needed to improve their employability.

· 6 out of 10 adults using YWCA employment services to seek work got a job. Though lower than past years, we’re proud to demonstrate this outcome in the midst of record unemployment and reduced opportunity for our clients.

The YWCA offers our sincere appreciation to all the individuals and families who have grown the YWCA endowment Fund, which generates investment income for YWCA programs and services. This year, it’s providing nearly $800,000 in revenue, which is almost as much as was raised by the 2,550 supporters at our YWCA Seattle Inspire Luncheon.

We’d like to sincerely thank our YWCA Council for the Future members. These committed supporters have named the YWCA in their estate plans or made an outright gift of $10,000 or more to the YWCA endowment Fund. Council members are valued partners in our efforts to improve the quality of life for women and their families throughout King and Snohomish counties. Their planned and outright gifts enable the YWCA to continue vital programs even during tough economic times.

To learn how you can join our Council for the Future: rebecca ehrlichman | rehrlichman@ywcaworks.org | 206.490.4365.

Bonnie and Dick Winkenwerder, Council for the Future Members

“We have remembered the YWCA in our will for four very important reasons: 1. We strongly believe in the mission of the YWCA in helping women, children and families. 2. Through its Board of Directors and staff, the YWCA is constantly identifying the needs of the community and meeting them. 3. Their dollars are spent wisely on programs with a small percent for ad-ministration. 4. And finally, the YWCA is helping those who are so willing to help themselves!”

“My contribution is making a social impact on my community and its surroundings.”

“Investing in women and families improves our community for everyone. just ask me. I know. I live the dream the YWCA enabled me to live every day of my life.”

“If you show the YWCA you are willing to develop yourself, they will support you and help you through everything.”

“YWCA allowed me to have a better life and gave me a place to live.”

“My colleagues are extraordinary. The work they do is extraordinary. I’m glad to be able to partake in that work.”

“I strongly feel the need for everyone to contribute in some small way for the good of society.”

“...many crucial pieces coming together that will help women and families: infrastructure, child care, low-income and workforce housing, a community center, support services… all of these different spaces fit with a need in our community.”

“We all offer families a helping hand up and give them the tools they need to succeed as parents and as caring, compassionate individuals in our society.”

Support your community through United Way, workplace giving and gift matching.encourage your employees to participate in a United Way or other workplace giving campaign. From july 2009 to june 2010, we raised $250,000 from workplace giving campaigns. These commitments came from more than 300 individuals, nine administrative agencies and more than 80 employers. During that same period, another 430 individuals maximized their gifts through an employer gift matching program, garnering an additional $143,600 from 50 employers. Together, these programs generated nearly $400,000 for YWCA programs and services.

public employees who choose to contribute to a Combined Campaign in their workplace must designate a specific agency or program. Please consider designating your gift to the YWCA.
