BUILDING BRIDGES TO EQUITY FOR OVER 140 YEARS
Dear <name>,
YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all – our mission has never been more clear or necessary. Your YWCA has over 140 years of experience providing direct service to, collaborating with, and advocating on behalf of the most vulnerable people in our society including survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, and low-wage workers, the unhoused, immigrants, and more.
We have a deep and abiding commitment to working on issues that disproportionately impact women, and particularly women of color, such as economic, gender and racial justice. We are acutely aware that this momentous work is needed now more than ever.
Your YWCA’s wraparound services are the foundation that enables us to build bridges to equity by ensuring each person who enters our doors receives affirming and empowering care that’s unique to their personal journey:
“I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from YWCA during my recent job search. The free computer courses were invaluable, helping me sharpen my skills and boost my confidence. I also greatly benefited from one-on-one consultations with the amazing staff, who provided personalized guidance and encouragement every step of the way. Their resources equipped me with the tools I needed to successfully navigate my job search, ultimately leading me to a fantastic opportunity. Once I secured a job, I was able to get a whole new wardrobe at Bloom, making me feel confident on my first day. I can’t thank YWCA enough for their unwavering support and commitment to helping job-seekers like myself start this new phase of my life feeling ready. Their impact and empathy truly made a difference!”
—JOANNE, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND BLOOM CLIENT
I am so proud of the life that Joanne has built for herself and her family, and I’m honored that YWCA could be there for her when she needed it the most. We will continue to be there for our clients and community.
YWCA has never shied away from the hard work and determination required to build a racially equitable world. We have a legacy of actively engaging the difficult and working across lines of difference, despite the struggles that come with it.
Join us in the fight for freedom and dignity for all by making a gift to Your YWCA. Your partnership is critical to sustaining our life-changing and life-saving work.
It takes all of us, together, to build the bridges of equity that our community deserves.
P.S. — 2025 marks my 15th year with Your YWCA — I am just as committed now as I was then to upholding the mission of our organization! We are not new to this work, we are true to this work. Scan the QR code to learn more about our 140-year legacy.
