Impact Update

OUR COLLECTIVE IMPACT

Thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters, we donated $165,000 to six innovative nonprofit organisations in 2024, awarding:

• a Capacity Building Grant of $80,000 to WomenCAN Australia 

• an Enabling Grant of $45,000 to PartnerSPEAK

• a Spotlight Award of $10,000 each to United Housing Co-op, Meals With Impact, Wellsprings for Women and Women's Circus.

These grants have catalysed significant change for women and families in Melbourne.

Whether you're a long-standing member, new to our giving circle or considering joining, don't miss this opportunity to gain insights about the impact we are making through collective giving.
