Based in Spokane, Washington, YWCA Spokane has operated since 1903 as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on removing social, economic, and personal barriers for individuals and families. Its program areas include support for victims of intimate partner violence, economic empowerment, early childhood education, and racial and social justice issues affecting clients and the broader community. The organization provides a continuum of care that includes a 24-hour helpline, safe shelter, and legal advocacy to disrupt cycles of trauma and guide people toward healing and independence. Each year, YWCA Spokane serves more than 14,000 individuals, children, and families through these services. It emphasizes addressing the intersections of inequality, poverty, and domestic violence in its work. In January 2024, YWCA Spokane partnered with MiA Spokane and SRDVC to advocate for several bills with state legislators.
