Strengthening society by investing in women and girls

Australians Investing In Women (AIIW) is a leading not-for-profit that strengthens society by catalysing greater capital across philanthropy and investment for women and girls.

We catalyse and align capital by working with funders, investors and sector leaders to embed a gender lens in decision-making, in order to direct capital towards women and girls where it delivers the greatest impact. Gender equality is essential to delivering a stronger, safer, more inclusive and prosperous society for all.
