Our Mission
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,
as of March 2010, WWIN has provided financial assistance in these four areas to over 4,700
low income women. This life-changing support is made possible through
the vision and generosity of our founder, Julia Pritt,
and the donations of 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. 100% of your
donation goes directly to provide grants for low income women, as all admistrative costs are covered by generous donor support.
