Thank you for showing your support of YWCA Cortland! No gift is too small. Or too great. If you wish to make a gift of $100 or more, please donate via the National Philanthropy Day contest and give us a chance to win $10,000! If you wish to make a gift of less than $100, or do not want to give via the contest, please donate directly to YWCA Cortland.

Hours of Operation

YWCA Cortland's facility and nonessential programs are closed to the public. The Aid to Victims of Violence (AVV) program continues to provide critical services by appointment only unless in an emergency. The Crisis Hotline (see numbers above) remains open 24/7. The Child Care School-Age Program also continues to operate but serves only children of personnel deemed essential and children whose parents are employed in industries allowed to reopen according to the State's New York Forward plan.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, YWCA Cortland will need to alter programming at times to comply with New York State guidelines as they evolve and to ensure the health and safety of our staff and the families that we serve. We are making every effort to resume our operations following requirements in the New York Forward plan​, and we will communicate any programming changes in a timely manner. We remain committed to the Cortland community and to our mission to empower women and eliminate racism.
