Creating a better future for Melbourne women and families in need, together.

Empowering Melbourne Women and Families

Founded in 2014 as the Melbourne Women’s Fund, the Melbourne Women’s Foundation is a Giving Circle that harnesses the power of community to support Melbourne women and families in need. Through pooled donations, member voting, and community engagement, we drive meaningful, grassroots change while welcoming broader community contributions.

How We Help Local Women and Families

Each year, we gather donations from our members and the wider community, then grant them to nonprofits supporting Melbourne women and families in need. Our members vote on the allocation of these pooled funds. In 2024, we granted $165,000.

Our events raise awareness about the challenges facing these individuals, highlighting excellent grassroots organisations that assist them. Participants also get the chance to connect with others who share their community concerns.

We thank our founders, members, and supporters for their time, talents, and resources. Together, they are building a vibrant community that empowers all Melbourne women and families to thrive.
