Hope Rising - Expanding diversity in philanthropy to support women and girls

Join 100 Women for an interactive roundtable bringing together business and community to explore opportunities for growth, leadership, and collaboration in collective giving across Australia. Together we’re shaping a nation-wide, community-driven grants fund to support women and girls in Queensland, across Australia, and overseas - and we’d love your input on what this future could look like.

This dialogue will spotlight the voices and experiences of Queensland women, connecting them into a broader national conversation on gender equality and giving. Where can everyday philanthropy spark the greatest change? And how can we invest to create lasting impact for women and girls? How can we join together as a national community of givers to amplify funds and impact?

Key discussion themes

Key issues in Queensland: What are the key needs facing Queensland women and where are the opportunities for investment to support women and girls in areas of health, education, economic participation and safety?
Diversifying and democratising philanthropy: How can everyday philanthropy reshape who contributes, who decides, and how funds create change in Queensland? Drawing on lessons from 12 years of impact through 100 Women we’ll explore opportunities to continue to challenge assumptions and reimagine philanthropy across Australia.
Voice and leadership: How can we elevate the perspectives of Queensland women, nurture leadership at every level, and connect giving communities across Australia and beyond? We’ll explore how to establish a Brisbane-based 100 Women committee to join with Perth and Sydney - creating a representative national giving community.

Venue: Will be in Brisbane CBD - to be confirmed.

Registration includes light food and drinks.
