Received $50,000 to connect socially-conscious landlords with 50 women and 140 children fleeing family domestic violence and seeking secure private rentals….
100% of member donations go into our annual grant fund to award multiple charities up to $50,000 AUD each.
As a member you have a say where the funding goes, by voting on the shortlisted grant applicants each year.
Successful applicants receive funding for initiatives that directly impact the lives of disadvantaged women and girls locally, nationally and globally.
100% of your investment goes toward the 100 Women grant fund. You can make a once-off donation, or become a member for as little as $25 per month.
Our volunteers are the heart and soul of 100 Women. Whether it's organising fundraising events or liaising with members, we'd love to have you on the team!

We welcome anyone who supports the vision of 100 Women and have a diverse network of philanthropists in our community. We are gender-wise with our funding - not our membership.
Yes we do! However the project must be funded by an Australian registered charity with Item 1 Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. This is mandatory and overseas registered charities do not meet this requirement. We also do not support organisations through auspicing arrangements. However, 100 Women can support Australian based organisations who have a formal relationship with an international in-country implementing partner, as evidenced by an MoU. Grant applicants must also be:
One of the most important benefits of being a 100 Women Member is the ability to vote for the grant recipient projects that you love. How does this happen? Every year once the grant finalists are announced (generally around August/September) our members are provided detailed information on our website about the projects that have reached the final grant stage. These projects will be from a range of locations (local, national and international) and a range of focus areas (safety, education, health and financial or economic freedom). Members are then sent an email advising of the opening of the grant voting which will take place for two weeks. The member will be able to view the various projects online and make a preferential vote based on the projects they would most like to see funded, through to the project they would least like to see funded. All projects have been through two rigorous grant round workshops and reference checks by our experienced grants committee. Our grants committee believe that any and all of the projects presented to our membership community are worthy of funding, therefore the decision lies with the members. At the time of voting, 100 Women check the bank account of our grants fund and the Board will make a decision based on how many grants can be given out that year. The more members, the more funding for our grants! Not all grants will be asking for the maximum grant amount which means until grant voting closes, we do not know how many grants we will be able to fund. Once the voting round closes, the grants committee will present a final report based on the aggregated scores of our members and the Board will approve the decision. 100 Women then announce the grant recipients at the annual Gala Dinner celebration usually in October and the grant recipients will receive the funding within two weeks of the announcement.
We will welcome initial Expressions of Interest (EOI) from eligible organisations early in the year. A grants subcommittee that is made up of our members and long standing volunteers with grants/philanthropy/foreign aid background will review and evaluate these EOIs. A select number of organisations will then be invited to submit full grant applications. These are then assessed by researching and evaluating applicants in order to arrive at the finalists. We will deliver information on these finalists to each 100 Women member for review and voting. The results of the voting, are then announced at our annual Gala Dinner Celebration and the successful grant recipients will be presented with their grants and have an opportunity to speak with our members.
100 Women awards grants to organisations that advance the safety, health, education and economic freedom of women and girls. Organisations must be a fund, authority or institution:
Whether you are a member with 100 Women or not, we would love to welcome you into our growing community of everyday philanthropists. Here, anybody is welcome, our members are gender inclusive and come from all ages, backgrounds, cultures and religions. We hold regular events where there is great opportunities to meet other like-minded people and we are always happy to facilitate connections if you come to an event alone. In addition to regular events, we hold several webinars a year that are free for members to ensure our members based around Australia and around the world can meet other members. Finally, we encourage members to join our Facebook Members Group to learn about other events and opportunities within our community. Got questions? email us at [email protected]

Our definition of women includes transgender and cisgender, all those who experience or have experienced oppression as women, including non-binary and gender non-conforming people and all those who identify as women.
We would also like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island People. We would like to acknowledge their continued connection to this Country and recognise that their culture is alive, and their connections continue as they have before we were here, and will continue as one of the oldest cultures in the world.
We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present and their special place in the community together with the emerging youth coming through.
