Vested is honored to announce YWCA Spokane as our official nonprofit partner for the 2025 Fête en Rouge on Thursday, September 18 from 6-9pm at The Greenhouse on Harvard!
This powerful partnership reflects a shared commitment to uplifting women in our community, especially those facing the devastating realities of domestic violence. For more than 120 years, YWCA Spokane has served as a safe haven and resource center for thousands of women, children, families, and people of all genders experiencing domestic violence across the Inland Northwest. Through their mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all, they provide critical services that meet people where they are and help them move forward.
Each year, YWCA Spokane supports more than 15,000 women, children, and men through programs that include emergency shelter, legal advocacy, counseling,
early childhood education, and job readiness training. Their work is vital—particularly in a region where 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
With this statistic in mind, the importance of YWCA Spokane’s services becomes even more urgent. Their 24/7 domestic violence helpline, confidential support, safe shelter (including for pets), and wraparound services offer more than survival—they offer a pathway to healing and self-sufficiency.
Now here’s how you can help - YWCA Spokane is facing a devastating $500,000 loss in federal funding, directly threatening the programs and staff who serve survivors every day. Now, more than ever, they need our community’s support.
By partnering with YWCA Spokane for this year’s Fête en Rouge, Vested aims to raise both awareness and critical funds to help bridge that gap—because no one should be turned away when they need safety, support, or hope.
