Support us

There are many ways to support the YWCA Cambridge!

As a non-profit organization, the YWCA Cambridge relies on fundraising events as well as gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations to help us provide quality, affordable programs and services for women, children, and families. Throughout each year, we sponsor (or others sponsor for us) various fundraisers intended to appeal to many different interests. Some are fun, some are serious, some are unique and others are very traditional.There are many ways to support the YWCA Cambridge!

Host a FRIENDRAISING Event

Friendraising is a way for you and your friends to learn more about YWCA Cambridge and what we do. Host an informal dinner party, a brunch, or just have a few friends over to spend some time hearing and talking about the YWCA mission and how we carry it out. We’d love to share what the YWCA mission means locally and how it is reflected in the services we provide. You also will have the opportunity to learn about ways you can support and be involved in the YWCA Cambridge.

Throw a FUNDRAISER for the YWCA Cambridge

Sponsor a car wash, BBQ, or even a golf tournament with your friends, co-workers, members of your faith groups, or other members of your circle. Together we can build the resources to enrich the lives of women and children!

On Facebook, donate your Birthday to YWCA Cambridge by creating a fundraiser in lieu of gifts.
