2019 Small Grants for Women & Girls

Our 2019-20 Small Community Grants Program focusses on women and girls’ safety. Our dedicated donors and funding partners passionately support our drive to continue funding grants that provide safety for women and girls.

With 11 grants worth $108,149 we are supporting projects that strengthen women and girls’ safety, be it through sourcing legal support, creating new employment and education pathways, helping find strong local connections or recognising abuse.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all our donors and funding partners, in particular Grosvenor Foundation, Bokhara Foundation, Private Trust, Anne Miller and Sandra Hart.
