How Sydney Women's Fund is helping local women in need
Local solutions to local problems
Each year Sydney Women’s Fund co-designs and funds programs that support locals in need.
As specialists in grassroots, frontline programs, we undertake extensive due diligence before partnering with local non-profits or making donations on your behalf.
Our programs for women and families support the most vulnerable – programs for young mothers, older women, domestic violence survivors, Indigenous people, migrants and asylum seekers.
We support programs that teach boys to grow into kind, strong men, strengthen mental health and emotional resilience, provide food and shelter, and much, much more.
We operate in Sydney’s most disadvantaged geographies. Our local partners often do not have the resources to promote their work, fundraise, advocate to government, or access experts. Instead, they rely on us, and our donors, for support.
We are the bridge between corporate, family and individual donors and little known but highly effective grassroots programs. Together, we have connected 4,000+ donors, and more than $11million in donations, to 400+ non-profits in the last decade. And when you give to local charities with low overheads, your dollar goes further.
For example, what started with donations to buy a coffee machine, has grown to fund five profit for purpose businesses and pay more than $145,400 in wages annually while women gain a TAFE qualification and job skills. The COVID restrictions have made our job more important than ever.

Advocacy & Research
If Sydney were 100 women
My biggest fear is having to work into my
70’s and struggling to find real long-term work
beyond contract or casual positions.
Who we support
Since it began over a decade ago, Sydney Women's Fund has fundraised for many programs
to enrich and transform the Greater Sydney community and beyond.
Below are some of the community organisations that have received valuable support.














Your donations in action
I believe the partnership we have formed with Sydney Women's Fund
and their donors has brought about enormous change in the community,
it has empowered women, fostered community engagement
and created community leaders.

My first job in Australia is because of my training
and experience there. I pay tax now. It feels good
to give back and pay my own way.
