Women & Change is offering grants to give women the chance to experience high impact giving.
They are an entirely volunteer-run organisation of like-minded women who fund projects that address social disadvantage. To date, Women and Change has funded more than $400,000 worth of projects across Queensland.
Funding Information
- Each year Women and Change offers a grant of up to $50,000 to eligible charitable organisations with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. The project must be focussed on Queensland communities.
- Funds should be applied to a project that is completed within 12 months of receiving the grant monies.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications are open to charitable organisations that:
- have BOTH Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) and Tax Concessional Charity status (ICC), from the Australian Taxation Office.
- propose projects that are Queensland based, with all grant funds going to help Queenslanders experiencing social disadvantage and in need of support.
- are based anywhere in Australia (with all funds to be spent in Queensland). Only charities that meet the above criteria are eligible to apply.
- The project must be completed 12 months from when you receive the funding (30Th November 2022).
- The successful applicant must provide progress reports at six months and a final report at 12 months. Outcomes must be shared with the members of Women & Change, who have made this grant possible.
- Applicants can apply for part funding of a larger project, so long as they have the balance of funds confirmed and the project is ready to start as soon as the grant is received.
- Women & Change will consider applications for any demonstrable need, including operational, infrastructure or capacity-building support, where it is clear that philanthropic funding will make a tangible and measureable difference to the quality of life of the individuals and communities involved.
- Eligible organisations are welcome to submit up to three applications for different projects. Please ensure that each project meets the guidelines. A separate application form must be submitted for each project.
- Members are most interested in projects that address unmet needs and/or offer unique solutions to social challenges.
