Christine Friday and Kathleen Pooley Sub-Fund

The Trustees of the Victorian Women’s Benevolent Trust (VWBT) were particularly proud to establish the Chris Friday Sub-Fund in December 2016 because it leads the way in philanthropic support for Aboriginal women and girls.

The Sub-Fund is thanks to the vision and generosity of Chris Friday, a woman committed to supporting her community through her volunteering efforts and philanthropy.

In May 2019, Chris made a request to the Trustees of the Victorian Women’s Benevolent Trust to change the name of her Sub-Fund to the Christine Friday & Kathleen Pooley Sub-Fund, as a way of honouring and acknowledging her late biological mother Kathleen (1906 – 1957).

The Sub-Fund will seek applications from

Aboriginal community organisations for projects addressing the education, health needs and housing of Aboriginal women and girls in Victoria.

We welcome donations to this Sub-Fund. All contributions help build the financial pool for making grants and are fully tax-deductible.
