You can be part of making our house a home for the 4300 homeless
and low-income women we serve by donating today.

Your contribution of $35, $50, or more is essential to help us provide a safe and healthy community – and all the small things that make DWC a place that women can call home.

If you prefer to mail a check, please send your contribution to:

DOWNTOWN WOMEN'S CENTER
442 S. San Pedro St.
Los Angeles, CA  90013

Here are just a few ways your gift can help the women we serve:

• $36 provides a monthly money management session for three DWC residents

• $60 provides one month of peer support groups for women in need

• $100 provides lunch for one day in the DWC Day Center

• $200 provides materials for two weeks of educational and pre-employment instruction in the DWC Learning Center, reaching 40 women

• $560 provides one month of housing and supportive services for one woman in the DWC Residence

• $2000 – provides a year of individual and group counseling, reaching more than 100 women with vital mental health support

In-Kind Gifts
We welcome your new and gently used items! DWC accepts donations on-site anytime during the Day Center's open hours: weekdays from 6 am to 4 pm and weekends from 8 am to 2 pm. Please click here for more information, including a list of most-needed items and directions to DWC.

Matching Gifts
You can make the most of your gift to the Downtown Women’s Center by finding out if your employer matches charitable contributions!  Your donation can go two or even three times as far – simply by filling out a form and mailing it to DWC.  Check with company’s Human Resources department for details.

Planned Gifts
Remembering the Downtown Women’s Center in your estate can help ensure our sustainability long into the future. By arranging for a bequest, a gift of insurance, a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust, your generosity will go on to benefit women for years to come.  As you consider naming DWC in your life insurance policy, will, or trust, please consult your financial and legal advisors for guidance before contacting the DWC Development staff, and many thanks for your kind support.

Gifts of Stock
Giving stock offers three advantages:  you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of your stock; you receive an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift (you must have held the stock for at least one year in order to qualify for these tax benefits); and your gift directly benefits women in need of your help.
