    About Ywca Usa

    YWCA USA Inc. uses its grantmaking to support local YWCA affiliates with program delivery and organizational capacity, with several of the largest recent awards tied to digital skills training, workforce development, and planning support. One of the clearest examples is the $479,708 grant to YWCA Mclean County for Google digital skills training, Starbucks digital skills and workforce development, and capacity building. Similar multi-part support shows up in Indiana, where YWCA Northeast Indiana received $461,645 for Lilly planning grant support and capacity building, and YWCA North Central Indiana received $460,837 for Lilly planning grant support, Comcast grant digital skilling services, and capacity building. The foundation’s stated purpose is to eliminate racism and empower women, and that aim appears in grants connected to racial justice, women’s economic empowerment, child care, domestic and sexual violence services, girls in STEM and education, entrepreneurship, and reproductive justice. Recent awards also reach affiliates in cities such as Cleveland, Madison, Houston, and South Florida, often pairing program support with capacity building.

    What Ywca Usa Funds

    Digital access and workforce readiness are a major thread in the portfolio. YWCA Berkeleyoakland received $170,850 in 2024 for Comcast digital skills training, Google workforce development and digital skills training, Starbucks workforce development for teens, and capacity building. YWCA South Florida received $200,000 in 2023 for Google workforce development, YW Tech Lab, Comcast digital skilling services, ServiceNow digital skills training, and capacity building. Women’s economic advancement also appears through entrepreneurship-focused funding. YWCA Houston received $163,250 in 2024 for Comcast women’s empowerment through entrepreneurship, Macquarie grant WE360 program, and capacity building. YWCA Metropolitan Chicago received $131,250 in 2023 for Comcast women’s empowerment through entrepreneurship, YW Tech Lab, and capacity building. Youth and civic engagement show up in grants tied to YW Strive, Y Women Vote, and teen workforce programs. YWCA Central Alabama received $180,000 in 2023 for Google YW Strive and Allstate Moving Ahead curriculum, while YWCA Metropolitan Chicago received $178,000 in 2025 for Y Women Vote and ULTA youth empowerment.

    How Ywca Usa Gives

    Typical grants cluster around a modest operating-and-program-support range: the p25 is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the p75 is $55,000. The recent grant list also shows much larger affiliate awards, which usually combine planning, capacity building, and named corporate or foundation program support. The same affiliates appear in multiple years, including YWCA Madison, YWCA Houston, YWCA South Florida, YWCA Metropolitan Chicago, YWCA Berkeleyoakland, and YWCA Northwest Indiana, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. YWCA USA Inc. is a regular funder, not a DAF, and the active Level Up! Pitch Competition is listed as accepting unsolicited entries.

    Where Ywca Usa Makes Grants

    Grantmaking is national, but it is especially concentrated in the Midwest and Indiana affiliates. The top state by grant count is Ohio, while the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Recent grants land in Bloomington, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Lafayette, Cleveland, Madison, Houston, Chicago, Berkeley, and Miami, showing a mix of Midwest, South, and West Coast affiliates. Washington, DC accounts for 1% of grants, so the funding footprint is broad rather than centered on the headquarters city.
