Tips for Applicants

Applicants should focus on clearly demonstrating how their project directly benefits women and girls in Victoria, aligns with MWF's thematic priorities (economic security, safety, leadership, health), and has the potential for significant, measurable impact. Familiarise yourself with their past grantees to understand preferred project types and scales. Ensure your organisation is a registered not-for-profit.

Giving Philosophy

MWF operates as a collective giving circle, where members collaboratively decide on grant recipients. Their approach focuses on creating positive social change by funding projects that enhance economic security, improve safety, foster leadership, and promote health outcomes for women and girls experiencing disadvantage.
