YWCA Spokane Legacy Circle

Make a Lasting Impact—Now and Beyond Your Lifetime

A Legacy of Lives Changed

YWCA Spokane’s Legacy Circle honors the compassion, generosity and foresight of the incredible individuals who have chosen to include the work of YWCA Spokane in their wills and estate plans. 

Since the first 90 women pledged support to YWCA Spokane upon our inception in 1903, countless lives have been changed thanks to the generosity and leadership of Spokane community members. Building on this incredible legacy, you can choose for your own legacy to support a lifeline for women, children, and families for generations to come. 

A Future Without Violence

Vision

YWCA Spokane is driven by our mission to eliminate racism and empower women.

Together with our Legacy Circle donors, we envision a future without violence in an inclusive and thriving community transformed by racial and gender equity, with peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people.

Commitment

We've been here since 1903 and plan to be here until the work is done. This is the commitment we make to you:

We will get up and continue to do the work until injustice is rooted out, until institutions are transformed, until the world sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do: Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.

Investment

In 2023 we launched our first endowment, The Forever Fund. 

Unless otherwise designated, your legacy gift will be invested as the principle in this fund where it will grow for generations to come. The interest gained will be used to fund YWCA Spokane’s services as a dependable source of income in an unpredictable future.

There are many ways for anyone to leave a transformational gift to YWCA Spokane. We can help guide you through the process, including providing sample bequest language that can be used to support YWCA Spokane's mission through your estate.
