ways to give

Philanthropist: A person with a concern for the welfare of humankind, especially as shown by acts of benevolence.

Philanthropists touch the lives of thousands of women and girls each year by generously donating their money, time and energy to YWCA Toronto.

If you'd like to learn more about Philanthropy, a word which is 'more easily done than said', view Minnesota Council on Foundation's video for some interesting perspectives.

Please join us in our mission to improve the lives of women and girls by making an online donation today!

To make a donation by phone, please call the Philanthropy Department at 416.961.8100 extension 352. All donations of $10 or more will automatically receive a tax receipt. Our annual report with audited financial statements is available upon request.
