Featuring stories of impact from grantees, members and our community.
Our Next Gen membership has grown significantly over the past year, and Mary is one of the amazing women who has joined our collective giving community. In her own words, Mary shares why she believes in the impact of working with likeminded women to make a difference.
“I joined the Melbourne Women’s Fund because I believe in the impact of collective giving & collaborating with a group of likeminded women. Being part of a dynamic giving circle allows me to amplify the impact of my contributions to the causes that are important to me, in particular supporting women in my community.”
“As a member, I find fulfilment in knowing that every donation, no matter the size, is a crucial building block in constructing a landscape where women can thrive.”
“For me, MWF represents a commitment to champion equality and nurture and empower the aspirations of women. It’s about being part of a movement that believes in the power of collective generosity to create lasting change.”
Melbourne Women’s Foundation convened the Boroondara group’s quarterly dinner catch-up. There was no agenda; this relaxed dinner was a welcome opportunity for members and friends to get to know each other and enjoy each other’s company. Initiated by Christine Darcas during the COVID lockdowns, this group owes its ongoing success to the exceptional leadership of longtime member, Dr Linette Etheredge.
Join us in giving a warm welcome to our newest members. We are thrilled to have you join our community!
NextGen Member Hannah shares her journey from member to NextGen Chairperson. "I joined MWF a few years ago as I wanted to give back and start getting involved in philanthropy. However, I was overwhelmed with the number of charities and ways of giving."
