A local philanthropic organisation is offering three grants of $20,000 each to women-led, not-for-profit organisations in the Northern Rivers who are delivering projects that uplift women and girls.
The Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) says the grants are funded through NRCF’s Women’s Giving Circle, which is ‘a dynamic collective of local women who come together to promote gender equality through the power of community-based philanthropy’.
NRCF CEO, Sam Henderson says, ‘The Women’s Giving Circle encourages applications from organisations working on a range of issues, including the prevention of gender-based violence, improving health outcomes, reducing social isolation, and fostering leadership, inclusion and financial independence among women and girls’.
‘Applications are especially encouraged from organisations working with women who experience multiple forms of disadvantage, including First Nations women, LGBTQI+ women, migrant and refugee women, older women, and those facing housing or income insecurity’.
