Ways to Give

At YWCA Central Maine, every gift makes a difference. Your support helps us advance our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

When you give, you’re investing in programs that:

  • Provide safe, nurturing childcare for working families

  • Offer health and wellness opportunities for women and families

  • Promote equity and inclusion through education and advocacy

  • Support community connection, belonging, and empowerment

These gifts cost nothing today, yet help sustain critical programs that empower women and eliminate racism in our community.

Planned gifts allow you to:
