Event description

Join us for our Annual Celebration at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, the very place our journey began in 2014. Meet our board directors, fellow members, hear from an inspiring speaker and celebrate the achievements of our grantees. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, engage and be part of a supportive circle committed to fostering positive change for women in Melbourne. 

We are delighted to welcome back Genevieve Timmons, one of Australia's most respected voices in philanthropy, as she launches the second edition of her book, Savvy Giving. Genevieve first joined our community in 2014, leading an inspiring conversation on the art and science of philanthropy. The Australian Communities Foundation have generously given us a copy of Savvy Giving 2nd ed. for one attendee to receive as a lucky door prize.
