Aoraki Foundation Women's Fund Launch Event

Join us for our launch event and learn how you can make positive changes for women and girls in the Aoraki Region.

The impact of 100 women in a room with $100 each will enable us to invest in women and accelerate growth and development opportunities.

If we were 100 women in a room:

• 20 of us would experience sexual harassment as secondary school students
• 25 of us would be heading solo parent households
• 33 of us would experience domestic violence in our lifetime
• We would be underrepresented by 36% on NZX 100 companies
• We would earn 9% less than men 

Research shows that when you invest in women and girls, you invest in stronger, more stable families and communities. You raise a generation of healthier kids with brighter futures and lower the cost of everything from public safety to social services to healthcare.

Significant numbers of women and girls work hard at the grassroots level. The impact of these community leaders is amplified when supported by others. 

Our fund was established to provide our community leaders with support by investing in their potential to grow their impact and make our community better for everyone. The Women’s Fund is a unique model of giving through the Aoraki Foundation Women's Fund. The fund brings together generous women from diverse backgrounds and is committed to making positive changes for women and girls in the Aoraki region.
