There are so many occasions, milestones and deserving friends and family worthy of inspired giving! Your thoughtful gift is a life-changing gesture for women, girls and gender diverse people in need.

Holidays
Family Day, Valentine’s Day, International Women’s Day, Mother’s Day, seasonal holidays, and more — you can celebrate your loved ones by honouring them with a donation in their name during these important holidays.

Celebrations
Occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and graduations are great opportunities to make special days even more meaningful. A gift to YWCA Toronto is a wonderful way to celebrate important milestones. You can honour a special person or celebrate a loved one by making a donation in their name. Give a donation as a gift or if you are hosting a celebration, encourage your friends and family to make a donation in your name to YWCA Toronto instead of buying you a gift.

Give in memory
Memorial donations are a significant way for you to remember someone special, tell others how much this person meant to you and contribute to transforming the lives of women, girls and gender diverse people.

For all gifts in honour or memory, YWCA Toronto can mail or email a card to the honouree or their family, letting them know of your thoughtful gift.

For more information, contact Winky Chan, Donor Services & Administrative Officer at wchan@ywcatoronto.org or 416-961-8100 x 335.
