Educate & empower
One of the major barriers to safer communities is self worth. Believing we are worthy of belonging. We work one-by-one, focusing on postcodes of greatest need and tailoring each project to the unique needs of each community.
By supporting Sydney Community Foundation you are the solution. Together, we’ve attracted $3 million to support small grants that bring education and employment, safety and independence to Sydneysiders in need.
Meet Janette

Thanks to our Women’s Fund supporters at Sydney Community Foundation, Janette accessed a sewing class and mentorship program with Australian design house Ginger & Smart and now works part time at The Social Outfit.
