Give the Keys of Hope
YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley Keys of Hope Capital Campaign
YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley need your support for our Keys of Hope campaign. We are raising $11.5 million to renovate the nearly 100-year-old YWCA Downtown Center and expand Jenny Boyd’s Keys of Hope Women’s Program to help even more women in need.
WHY SHOULD YOU GIVE?
This project will enable us to serve more women in Knoxville through our proven Jenny Boyd Keys of Hope program, which has a 90% success rate.
Women re-enter the workforce, find permanent housing, regain their self-respect and reclaim their roles as contributing members of their communities.
The Jenny Boyd Keys of Hope Program is a proven solution to stopping the cycle of homelessness in our community, serving women who are rebuilding lives devastated by loss, domestic violence, substance abuse, imprisonment, mental and physical health issues and more.
YWCA has been working diligently to secure public funding, private donations, grants and other support, and it will take the contributions of the entire community to meet the $11.5 million goal.
With your help, we know we will be successful.
HOW WILL THE FUNDS BE USED?
The funds will be applied directly to the renovation and expansion of the YWCA Nancy J. Land Center.
The project will preserve a historic downtown building and make the facility safe, functional, energy-efficient and ADA accessible – for the women who reside in transitional housing and all community members served there.
This is an important investment in Knoxville’s momentum as an inclusive and compassionate city, one that helps citizens regain independence and self-sufficiency for the betterment of our community as a whole.
