Today, as an organization, YWCA St. Paul is faced with a harsh economic reality. ~30% of our funding is from the federal government. We have an urgent need to support our existing families and individuals. As we pivot and adapt to this new reality, we need your support in the interim to help fill our financial gap as we strengthen our foundation through our new strategy called StrongHER Together.

StrongHer Together is a Health Equity Alliance built though a collective impact model. This collective impact model builds capacity and brings together diverse stakeholders to work toward a shared goal. At YWCA St. Paul, your support helps break down barriers and build up communities. Whether helping a homeless family to make a new start, supporting families who have experienced domestic violence, providing life skills and education leading to employment, or helping youth transition out of foster care, your gift makes a profound difference and helps transform lives.

We stand strong together. We will not waver. In partnership with you, we will not be deterred in our support of those we serve.

Your gift will help us continue our important work tackling gender inequalities and racial disparities, while providing women and their families access to housing and supportive services, job training, education, and more.

Because you, and others like you, choose to support YWCA St. Paul, we can provide important programs to families in need. Our core programs include:

• Housing & Supportive Services 
• Youth Development 
• Employment Services 
• Health & Wellness 
• Racial Justice

Thank you for your support in this critical work we do every day. YOU make the difference in the lives of the women and families we touch.
