Celebrating Generosity: A Heartfelt Thank You To The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians
YWCA North Central Indiana extends our deepest gratitude to our wonderful friends at the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians for their remarkable generosity and steadfast support of our mission. We are truly honored by their continued investment in our work and in the lives of women, families, and survivors throughout our region.
Recently, the Pokagon Band distributed community investment contributions to local organizations, including a $25,000 gift to YWCA North Central Indiana to support our programs that help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, empower women to build brighter futures, and teach skills that support self-sufficiency.
A Partnership That Strengthens Our Community
This contribution reinforces our ability to provide vital services - from emergency shelter and advocacy to economic empowerment and prevention education - for people navigating incredibly difficult circumstances. Every dollar invested helps ensure that survivors have access to safety, guidance, and long-term support that can transform lives.
“This is so critical. We have a long-standing partnership with Pokagon Band and the Potawatomi Tribe, so having this support is really critical to ensure that we can continue our programming and help strengthen our community”, said YWCA North Central Indiana President & CEO, Amy Hill.
Her words remind us that meaningful collaboration creates real impact - not just in meeting immediate needs, but in building lasting community resilience.
Why This Support Matters
At YWCA North Central Indiana, we are committed to empowering women, children, and families, so every single person seeking our services can live with dignity, support, and opportunity. The support from the Pokagon Band enables us to:
Expand critical support services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault
Strengthen self-sufficiency and economic empowerment programs that help women achieve financial stability and success
Increase access to education, advocacy, and preventative outreach in our community
Gratitude & Shared Purpose
We are grateful not only for this generous contribution, but for the spirit of partnership and shared purpose it represents. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians’ commitment to community wellbeing helps ensure that YWCA North Central Indiana can continue serving those who need us most - and create positive change that extends far beyond a single donation.
