‘Empowered Giving for a Fairer Future’ is an inspiring series of short videos from Australians Investing In Women featuring some of Australia’s most influential voices in philanthropy.

In episode 11, Mim Bartlett, Managing Director of Mim Bartlett Consulting, shares how a visit to the Asylum Seeker Resource Center sparked her journey into philanthropy.

With a strong focus on gender equality, the LGBTIQ+ community, and asylum seekers, Mim explains how she aligns her giving with societal needs and supports organisations led by inspiring leaders.

She reflects on key moments of impact, including funding a gender-focused legal role at ASRC and hosting fireside chats that raised over $1.3 million.

Mim also highlights the importance of applying a gender lens to philanthropy, urging donors to ask, How does my giving support women and girls? Her story is a powerful reminder that strategic giving can drive meaningful change.
