Join Our Mission

You can use our online donation form to give in a number of ways in addition to the standard one-time credit card gift.

Please help YWCA St. Joseph support our survivors by donating new and gently used clothes, hygiene products, household goods, food, etc.

A Donor Advised Fund allow you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants from the fund over time.

ACH electronic giving is a direct payment program whereby your contribution is debited automatically from your checking or savings account. Electronic contributions cannot be lost, stolen or destroyed; are resistant to errors and fraud; and are free for both you and the YW. ACH transfers make monthly giving easy, and you can cancel your authorization by notifying US at any time. Giving electronically makes it easy for you and helps YWCA St. Joseph save money!

In addition to receiving an acknowledgment and an annual gift statement from YWCA St. Joseph, your bank statement will provide an itemized list of electronic transactions. If you change bank accounts, simply notify YWCA and we will give you a new authorization form to complete. To set up an ACH payment, simply select “US Bank Account” on the Payments screen.

Celebrate an important milestone, such as a birthday or anniversary, or remember a loved one through an honorary or memorial gift to YWCA St. Joseph. Encourage friends, family and colleagues to invest in the future of women and girls in lieu of material gifts. Cards will be sent to those you would like notified of your generosity. Select “this is an honor or memorial gift” and follow the instructions that appear at our Donate page.

A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is an excellent way to support YWCA St. Joseph. Your donation will still be eligible for a tax deduction, and it may allow you to avoid or reduce capital gains taxes. For more information on potential tax advantages, please consult with your financial advisor.

Gifts of securities can easily be made by asking your broker to transfer the stock to YWCA St. Joseph account. Please have your broker notify YWCA St. Joseph of the expected stock gift by completing this Stock Notification and Transmittal Form.

Setting up recurring donations on a monthly/weekly basis helps guarantee that those we serve receive the appropriate care and support every day. It allows you to easily spread your support throughout the year and provide a steady and reliable stream of income to us. You can donate monthly, or weekly, by selecting “Monthly” or “Weekly” from the dropdown list on our Donate page.
