Gift of Hope
Honor the important people in your life…Give the Gift of Hope!
Are you looking for a unique gift for your family or office co-worker, book or card club get-together, or for teachers, caregivers and service providers? Is your business interested in showing appreciation to its customers with something besides another box of candy or a calendar?
How about a gift that truly keeps on giving? Support the YWCA Dayton’s Gift of Hope Campaign! The Gift of Hope allows you to honor your friends, families or colleagues by making a donation to the YWCA Dayton in their names.
Your gift will play a vital role in helping the YWCA Dayton continue its mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. We have a 139-year legacy of addressing critical social needs in our Dayton community, including: domestic violence, racial justice, homelessness, childcare, affordable housing, plus self-sufficiency and personal development for women and teens.
Your investment will provide hope for a better tomorrow to the women and children who turn to the YWCA during their most desperate times looking for shelter, comfort, guidance and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
The YWCA will provide you with special donation envelopes, if requested, and will send honorees a notice of your gift. Checks and credit cards are accepted.
