When women thrive, all of society benefits, and succeeding generations are given a better start in life.

Investing in women and girls makes great sense

The Joyce Thorpe Nicholson Fund was named in honour of Joyce because of the enormous effort she put in to  the Trust's early fundraising. The interest earned on this Fund  is distributed annually as grants.

Every year, thanks to those who donate to our work through this Fund, we are able to support creative and inspiring projects that improve conditions for women and girls across Victoria. 

You can be part of this positive and powerful capacity to give and make a difference! Donation Form  

Your donation can help fund 15 -20 projects per year in our general grants program.

Con Irwin Sub-Fund for initatives that tackle discrimination, violence, and inequality of educational opportunity.
