YWCA Spokane Updates

Impacts of Funding Changes

Domestic violence remains one of Spokane’s most urgent public health crises. YWCA Spokane continues to be the primary source of safety, shelter, and support for individuals and families impacted by intimate partner violence.

Because people count on us, our mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all remains steadfast. That commitment has not changed, and it never will.

However, like many nonprofits across the country, we are adapting to a shifting funding landscape. This year, we are experiencing a $500,000 reduction in public funding at the county, state, and federal levels.

In response, we’ve made the difficult decision to reduce staffing in some areas and to draw upon our limited reserves to maintain essential services. These choices were not made lightly, but with long-term sustainability and impact in mind.
