What happens when you combine a deep love of community with a bold commitment to gender equality?

In this video, Georgina Byron AM —CEO of the Snow Foundation and Chair of the Sydney Women’s Fund—shares how strategic philanthropy can uplift women, families, and entire communities. She outlines the Snow Foundation’s four-pillar approach, which supports First Nations people, LGBTIQ+ communities, youth, and early-stage social entrepreneurs—while also investing in the places the family lives and works.

Sharing one example of the Foundation’s work, Georgina highlights the strong link between domestic violence and financial abuse, and explains how her team responded by supporting credit lines for women as a form of practical empowerment. She also discusses the creation of “Strong Women,” a million-dollar sub-fund launched with her four daughters to embed values of giving across generations.

She stresses the importance of openly discussing and promoting gender equality and community impact to create lasting change—and the powerful role philanthropy plays in that journey.

👉 A compelling look at how generosity, strategy, and courage come together to build stronger communities.
