Women at Risk Trust

Giving Philosophy

The Trust aims to educate, empower, and equip women and children facing or recovering from domestic violence, financial abuse, and coercive control. This is achieved through the Yourtoolkit.com platform, which provides a comprehensive, evidence-based roadmap towards independence and resilience, offering up-to-date information on safety, legal, and financial matters. The platform also connects users to specialist family violence services and is informed by the lived experiences of women facing abuse.

Tips for Applicants

Based on the activities of Yourtoolkit.com, which is maintained by the Trust, potential applicants should demonstrate how their initiatives align with supporting women and children facing domestic violence, financial abuse, and coercive control. Proposals should highlight the provision of practical, evidence-based resources and a clear roadmap towards independence and resilience. Emphasize the ability to reach and support diverse populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, financially disadvantaged individuals, and those in rural and regional areas. Focus on educational and empowering outcomes related to safety, legal, and financial literacy.
