YWCA Duluth

YGiveNOW: Create Lasting Change

When YWCA Duluth was founded in 1893, its aim was to uplift and support young women through the transitions they found themselves in. Our values haven't changed and the way we uplift our community has stayed dynamic. From programming surrounding childcare, uplifting youth out of poverty and empowering young, diverse leaders of tomorrow, we have consistently responded to the needs of the Twin Ports area.

Women are under attack. Our rights to make decisions for our bodies have been stripped away, post-Covid funding for childcare is gone and the existing inequalities for BIPOC women have only deepened. Our mission to eliminate racism and empower women couldn't be more in sync with the needs of the changing world around us.

As we transition away from our current programs and conduct a community assessment and development plan in 2025, we need your help! We need to raise $20,000 this November to preserve our 130+ year old organization that is led by women, for women. We need you to give so that we can continue to grow the leaders of tomorrow who will make change for women and families well into the future. We need you to Give to the Max!

Can you commit to uplifting YWCA Duluth so that we can continue our work as catalysts for change in the Twin Ports area? With opportunities for us to win money with every $5 donated, this year’s campaign is more exciting than ever! 

P.S. We received a $20,000 match from an anonymous donor and want to honor their commitment by reaching our fundraising goal! One reason they told us they were able to donate this generous match was because one of their mothers was a savvy homemaker who invested in the stock market and was able to pass money down to her daughter. We are so thankful for the supporters of women and families in our community!
