Melbourne Women’s Foundation (MWF) is a membership-based giving circle that amplifies the impact of individual donations to drive meaningful change for Melbourne women and families in need. Members contribute to a shared grants pool and vote on its distribution, ensuring democratic, community-led giving.

Beyond funding, we cultivate an informed giving community. Through events, we deepen understanding of local challenges, highlight grassroots solutions, and connect like-minded people who want to make a difference.

• Our Vision: A vibrant community investing in the wellbeing of Melbourne women and families in need
• Our Mission: To foster and harness the dynamic power of community to benefit Melbourne women and families in need.

We are seeking highly capable and motivated individuals to join our Board on a voluntary basis. It’s an exciting opportunity to contribute to the organisation’s governance and assist with delivering our strategy.

We value diversity and seek to reflect the diversity of our community in the composition of our Board. In addition to being a MWF member and demonstrated governance, leadership, skills, knowledge and experience, the following will also be considered favourably:

• Advocacy, stakeholder engagement and fundraising
• People, culture and organisational development
• Legal, governance and risk oversight
• Digital innovation, cybersecurity & emerging technologies
