YWCA of Greater Flint

What YWCA of Greater Flint does

YWCA of Greater Flint is a Michigan-based nonprofit organization founded in 1908 that operates as the only State-recognized county provider in Genesee County offering comprehensive domestic violence and sexual assault services. The organization delivers a continuum of crisis response and empowerment programming organized around three pillars: (1) Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, including a 24/7 crisis line (810.238.SAFE), victim advocacy and crisis intervention, the SAFE Center for free Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) forensic examinations with a 90-minute response time, and a 32-bed SafeHouse emergency shelter averaging a 60-day stay; (2) Women's Empowerment programs delivered through the recently completed Women's Empowerment Center, including life coaching, mentoring, financial literacy, parenting workshops, and the Girls ASPIRE leadership development pipeline serving 6th–12th graders; and (3) Social Justice initiatives including the country's first Racial Justice program (developed in 2000), the Until Justice Just Is campaign, YWomen Vote, and the Transformational Leadership Academy.

The organization runs on a nonprofit revenue model funded by government and foundation grants, individual donations organized through the Nina Mills Society ($1,000+ tier), corporate sponsorships (Huntington Bank, Genesee Health System, Dort Financial), and event fundraising led by the Circle Lunch annual gathering of 300–400 attendees. All client-facing services are provided at no cost to survivors. Operational capacity is anchored by an 11–50 employee headcount, a Board of Directors led by President Natalie Pruett and Vice President Dr. Janice Adams, and a management team headed by CEO DeAndra Larkin. The organization operates as a local affiliate of the national YWCA network while functioning as an independently governed entity, and pursues capital projects through major campaigns such as the historical Directions 90 ($2.5 million) and Vision 2020 Capacity Building Campaign ($1 million goal, 89% reached by summer 2022).
