The reason we chose the YWCA is because this agency addresses more than just one of the community issues that we wanted to help as a group. The YWCA offers a variety of services to address critical issues in the community and in women's lives, and has been doing so since 1868.

One of the biggest factors that led us to chose the YWCA was the amount of money that actually goes to those in need. 90% of the funds recieved by the YWCA go directly to programs, while only 7% of the money is spent on administration costs. Seeing that this agency brings in around $5.5 million as a total income, it's safe to say that an extremely significant amount of money goes to a great cause.

The YWCA covers most if not all, of our main concerns toward the issue of rape victims. Not only that, but this agency also provides services such as employment readiness training, a domestic violence and sexual crisis line for assistance, training and education programs on literacy for families, and much more. The summary on the BBB website shows you all of the great things that this agency accomplishes for the people around the world. ([])

This agency is a great choice for the community issue we're trying to raise awareness of. With all of the resources that the YWCA provides, we feel that we're going to be very successful in helping, in our own ways, an extremely great cause.
