Support YWCA Delaware in the
Grant-in-Aid Budget

Protect Essential Services for Women, Families, and Survivors in Delaware

Grant-in-Aid funding helps sustain critical services including safe housing, survivor support, and economic empowerment programs for Delawareans across their lifetime.

Why this Matters

YWCA Delaware provides essential services that help over 8,000 individuals and families annually move from crisis to stability. Our services support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, provide safe housing, and create pathways to economic independence.

Grant-in-Aid funding makes this work possible.

Without it, access to these services could be significantly reduced for those who rely on them most. Your voice helps ensure these services remain available to Delawareans across their lifetime.

What Grant-in-Aid Supports

  • Safe housing and emergency shelter

  • Family stability and long-term support services

  • Economic empowerment and workforce development programs

  • Support for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault

After Years of Fear, A Safe Place to Begin Again

A Story of Stability and Hope

Anita, a Wilmington native, spent over two decades in a domestic violence relationship.

She reached out to YWCA Delaware through the helpline. Over time, she rebuilt her life, gained stability, and now volunteers with YWCA Delaware supporting other women.

For years, one Delaware mother lived in survival mode, trying to protect her children while navigating abuse, fear, and constant uncertainty.

When the danger escalated, support from YWCA Delaware helped her family escape, relocate, and finally begin rebuilding their lives in safety.
