Meet our Giving Circles & Sub-Funds
A voice for women and a force for change.
Our most famous sub-fund, Sydney Women’s Fund (SWF) is changing lives for women and girls, growing financial security and women’s independence and giving women the opportunity to determine their own future.
SWF has a 10 year history of advocating gender lens giving to programs in the Greater Sydney area. Its ‘Portrait’ research forms an evidence base to informs resource gaps in social investment in women and girls and guides granting to greater equality and impact.
Support our Upcoming Events, and you’ll be creating opportunities for women and girls to thrive. Find out more.
