Empower Series

Sponsorship

Sponsorship Overview

As a sponsor, you do more than just support an event, you partner with YWCA Minneapolis to eliminate racism and empower women and children throughout our community. For more than 130 years, we’ve built partnerships with like-minded community members to provide equity-centered programs that address systemic issues at their roots because we understand that collaboration creates longer-lasting changes.

Your sponsorship will both make a tangible difference for children and families throughout our community and serve as a catalyst for community engagement that leads to greater impact down the line.

Today, you have the power to build a better future for our community by partnering with us. Your support is a vital piece of our equity-centered programs that work with community members to tackle systemic issues at their roots while also addressing the real harm people are facing every day.

Together, we will change lives. Contact Pamela Ray, Community Engagement Manager by email or 612-215-4113 to make your commitment today.

Working alongside our partners and neighbors like you, we have served more than 15,000 people this year alone.

Our work is making a difference, but there are still so many more people who need our help.

EMPOWER POSSIBLE

Inspiring our community to envision what’s possible and offering the tools and resources to achieve it has been a hallmark of YWCA Minneapolis’s community-centered work since our founding in 1891. Through our numerous and diverse programs, we challenge community members to empower what’s possible today while creating a better future for tomorrow. Empower Possible is our annual fundraising event where we bring supporter together for a special afternoon of celebration, community, and giving back.

Previously an evening event, Empower Possible will be moving back to a luncheon in 2025. The event will start with a silent auction followed by a lunch program where we share impact stories, give out awards, and ask our supporters to help us continue this work through our fund-a-need. This event will be attended by more than 400 individuals and is a wonderful opportunity for networking and engaging with active community members.
