The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County

What The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County does

The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization headquartered in Arnold, Maryland, that has operated continuously since 1924. It is an independent affiliate of the YWCA USA national network, which is recognized as the oldest and largest multiracial women's organization in the world. The organization delivers a coordinated suite of programs for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault across Anne Arundel County, anchored by the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Residence — the county's only domestic violence safe house, which accommodates up to 40 residents at an undisclosed location with shared and private accommodations and state-of-the-art security.

The service portfolio includes a 24-hour crisis hotline (410-222-6800), safe shelter, full-time case management, outpatient counseling (adults and children, including play and art therapy), on-site legal services at Annapolis and Glen Burnie District Courts (protective orders), hospital accompaniment during Sexual Assault Forensics Exams at University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, a 28-week Abuse Intervention Program for perpetrators, Mentoring Connections for career development, and Racial Justice Advocacy programming. The underlying delivery model is human-capital-intensive — trained advocates, counselors, and attorneys — with no disclosed AI/ML or proprietary technology platform.

Revenue is generated through a mix of donations (individual and corporate via an online portal), sliding-scale client fees for counseling, free-of-charge domestic violence and sexual assault services, consignment proceeds (Honeysuckle Quality Consignment partnership), annual fundraising events (Y'All Ball), and estate/legacy giving. Go-to-market relies on community-led outreach, institutional referral channels (courts, hospitals, law enforcement), and event-driven fundraising rather than paid acquisition.

Regional players

• Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence: The state-level coalition for Maryland domestic violence service providers. Comparable in mission and DV focus, though functioning as a coordinating/advocacy body rather than a direct service provider like YWCA Annapolis.
• Safe Horizon: One of the largest nonprofit victims services organizations in the U.S., providing DV shelters, hotlines, counseling, and legal services in New York. Comparable mission and service breadth, with substantially larger scale and operational reach.
