Sydney Women’s Fund has been at the forefront of gender lens grant making to grassroots charities supporting women and girls across Greater Sydney area for over ten years now.
Sydney Women’s Fund invests, inspires and supports opportunities for local women and girls to thrive.
Like the women’s funds of New York, Washington, and London, Sydney Women’s Fund is supported by women giving together, using their profiles, ideas, skills and resources to help women and girls thrive.
Creating Equality & Opportunity for all

Education for women and girls is full of positives; from better health and increased confidence; new friendships and earning power.
Our work has shown women and girls earning an income is key to transforming families and the wider community.
