Visionary Leaders

A united community of givers who are passionate about transforming lives: one child, one teen, one woman, and one family at a time. 

Making Transformation Change Possible

Visionary Leaders make transformational change possible through their leadership, influence and annual giving of $1,000 or more. 

Your Visionary Leader gift can provide life changing support to a survivor, woman, or family in need. Or, fund a critical element of a YWCA program or service that would otherwise not be possible.

A Shared Goal

Unite a circle of 1,000 supportive leaders who choose to be:

  • Pioneers who support women and children when they need it most;
  • Pathfinders who create opportunities for safety, healing, & education;
  • Trailblazers who see the critical impact and lasting change their investment creates for families served by YWCA every day.

A Shared Impact

In 2023, the Visionary Leader Circle collectively gave nearly $450,000!

Together, these gifts made an enormous impact:

  • Transforming lives,
  • Supporting new violence prevention programs,
  • And covering gaps in grant funding for YWCA programs and services.

Become a Visionary Leader

Maximize your impact by committing to the level that most aligns with your annual giving capacity and the difference you want to make at YWCA Spokane.
