Our
Mission
Our vision is to improve the lives of low income women in Washington through financial assistance for health care and education.
This
mission drives every aspect of Washington Women In Need
(WWIN). We strive to improve the quality of women's
lives by supporting their educational goals; we improve
the quality of their lives by helping them maintain
their physical and mental health. We work to improve
the quality of their lives by treating them with dignity
and respect in all their encounters with staff, volunteers,
and Board members.
We
believe that by improving the lives of low income women,
we improve the lives of their families and the strength
of our community.
When
Washington Women In Need was founded in 1992, the founding
Board members determined the areas in which there was
the most need and the least existing support for low-income
women:
Since
that time, WWIN has provided financial assistance
in
these four areas to almost 3,900 low income
women and given almost 4,500 grants. This life-changing support is made possible
through the vision and generosity of our founder,
Julia
Pritt, and the donations
of over 3,000 individuals, businesses, corporations,
foundations, and other service organizations.
WWIN
receives no federal or state government funding for
its programs. It charges no fee for services. Upon founding WWIN, Ms. Pritt committed
to paying 100% of the administrative operating expenses
of the organization. This incredible generosity means 100% of your donation goes directly to make grants for low income women.
