Letter from the CEO
Dear Friends of the YWCA Silcon Valley:
While we may not be as “newsworthy” as the recent Facebook IPO, we want you to know that as a loyal donor and supporter of the YWCA Silicon Valley, we see you as a highly valued investor in the YW and in your community!
And, you’re in VERY good company.
Because no one agency can “do it all,” the YW has, over the years, strategically expanded our partnerships and collaborations with a myriad, of highly respected Silicon Valley organizations to create a healthier, more vibrant, and economically stronger Silicon Valley community.
Hopefully, the IPOs of the newest public tech giants will provide a significant volume of local job opportunities and spur social entrepreneurship among those who have “hit it big” and want to give back to and invest in the community in which they live and work. We thank you, our individual donor, for already being that investor who continues to help the YW make a significant and powerful impact in our community.
As I invite you to read more about how and with whom the YW partners and collaborates to strengthen our community, I send you heartfelt thanks for investing in us and in the women, children, and families we serve at the YW. Our clients are, after all, our:- Children—in need of nurturing, academic and intellectual stimulation, physical activity, and emotional support—while parents are at work
- Current and future workforce
- Temporarily marginalized neighbors—due to sexual assault, domestic violence, child-rearing challenges, or mental health issues
- Members of the vibrant community in which our businesses and neighborhoods can thrive
Heartfelt thanks for your continued investment in the YWCA Silicon Valley,
