This round of funding builds on the success of previous years’ Women’s Grants, with the record investment supporting more projects and grants up to $250,000 available for the first time.
This year, there are four separate grant opportunities:
- Annual Grants Program: Grants up to $10,000 for one-off initiatives
- Pilot Projects Grants Program: Grants between $20,000 to $50,000 for pilot projects with a duration of two years that target one or more of the four priority areas of Stronger Together (health, safety and justice, economic independence and leadership)
- Women-led Economic Initiatives Grants Program: Grants between $50,000 to $100,000 for women-led, community-based initiatives that focus on driving economic gender equality
- Safety and Justice Grants Program: Grants between $100,000 to $250,000 for projects that work towards the primary prevention of violence against women, with a focus on sexual violence.
Previous year’s recipients include the Western Australian Football Commission’s Female Umpiring Academy project, the Perth African Women Association’s HealthHer: Promoting Women’s Health and Wellbeing Project and the Kalgoorlie Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Women’s Leadership Forum.
