144th Annual ReportYWCA of Greater Cincinnati 2011–2012

For every woman … looking for a fair shake

The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating

racism, empowering women and promoting

peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Our mission statement

… and every woman who wants to shake things up

The YWCA of Greater Cincinnati, founded by and for women,

was established in 1868. We continue to enhance and change

lives through effective programming, advocacy and responding

to women’s and girls’ needs.

35,000 individualsWere served in GreATer CinCinnATi in 2011–2012

YWCA … for every womanA messAGe from The presidenT & Ceo And boArd ChAir

“i am a Woman phenomenally. phenomenal Woman, that’s me.” if the YWCA were represented by a poem, it would be these words by maya Angelou. The YWCA does, indeed, consider all women to be phenomenal. There are those fortunate women among us who already feel that way. To them we look for leadership to lift the more vulnerable among us to believe that they, too, are phenomenal. it is this bringing together of uncommon women for a common cause, to empower women and to end racism, that makes the YWCA so unique.

Given the fragile population we serve and the turbulence of the current economic environment, one might find it odd to choose this quote as emblematic of the YWCA. We could wring our hands and say woe is me, but that’s not what phenomenal women choose to do. Phenomenal women choose to look at obstacles, and figure out how together to move them out of the way. our clients have many obstacles; our programming offers significant support; and our goal is to empower women to be self sufficient; and become that phenomenal woman.

The YWCA is a home for every woman, regardless of age, race, ethnicity or income. The YWCA might speak to each of us differently, meet a different need. nevertheless, in this home, we are united as phenomenal women, seeking common goals.

Our work this year reflects the optimism of phenomenal women who accept the challenges and opportunities that our community offers to an organization committed to the mission of empowering women and eliminating racism. We continue to focus on our four strategic initiatives: empowering women, furthering racial justice, developing women as leaders and ending violence against women.

We continue to operate the only shelters for battered women and their children in hamilton, Clermont and brown counties. in this time of economic downturn the need for these lifesaving programs continues to grow while resources become more limited. however you, our donors, stay committed to helping us provide these essential services including transitional housing and a program for domestic violence abusers (Amend).

We are continuing to work with 3CdC, Continuum of Care for the homeless and other shelter agencies to establish an emergency stand-alone shelter for homeless women. A site has been purchased, existing structure demolished and final drawings approved. We have developed a true collaborative relationship with other shelter providers in providing a systematic and collaborative approach to serving adult homeless individuals in our community that could be a national model.

our ‘Reflections … Beyond Diversity’ program will enable us to provide a unique racial justice service that we can present to various organizations and companies in the community. We will grow this program which will create a safe space where participants can confront racism and experience a meaningful dialogue about its personal and community impact. The black Lawyers Association of Cincinnati honored us at their 20th Anniversary celebration dinner for our racial justice efforts. This recognition was a wonderful ratification of our commitment to racial justice.

The Women’s Art Gallery presented its 20th Anniversary exhibit by inviting back 22 artists that were featured in the gallery’s inaugural

show two decades ago. it was one of the largest events the gallery has hosted with over 360 people in attendance and many more streaming through during the run of the exhibit. it was an important celebration of pioneering women who paved the way for future generations of women artists.

it seems to be a year for 20th Anniversaries at the YWCA. We celebrated the 20th year of presenting the Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship to 10 outstanding female African American high school seniors. This year we are asking our Rising Stars (women leaders ages 25–40) to ‘lift as they climb’ and reach back to these scholarship honorees and mentor them through their first 18 months of college.

Annual reports are an opportunity to connect with our supporters and share with you a broad swath of the work we do 24/7, 365 days a year. This work that you enable us to do is cumulative, empowering women to meet today’s challenges and become those phenomenal women we all aspire for them to be. We are deeply grateful for your generosity, and for your trust.
