"By acknowledging the difference between males and females we can raise the bar on all philanthropy."

– WILLIAM C. RICHARDSON, PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF THE W.K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION
By supporting programs that deliberately address gender differences in their design, implementation and outcomes, you’ll be making sure that women and girls benefit from philanthropy. As investment in this kind of social change benefits everyone, you’ll be contributing to a stronger and more equitable Australia. Gender-wise principles are even more critical in international funding. This is well recognised in international development. It is absolutely crucial if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the next 10 years to 2030 and we are determined to do all we can to support private and corporate philanthropy to maximise its impact in this pivotal decade. We have produced a suite of resources to help funders understand and apply gender-wise philanthropic practices.

With heartfelt thanks

We acknowledge the support of all the individuals that have inspired and enabled our mission.  They include Donors, Thought Leaders, Board Members, Executive Staff and Volunteers. Thank you for your commitment and generosity.
