The Women’s Grants for a Stronger Future program is now open for applications offering grants of up to $100,000 for organisations to develop projects that support and address the unique issues faced by Western Australian women.
Funding for the Department of Communities-led Program has been increased this year from $85,000 to $335,000 to support a wider range of initiatives that advance gender equality in Western Australia.
Successful applicants will align with Stronger Together: WA’s Plan for Gender Equality focussing on four priority areas: health and well-being, safety and justice, women’s economic independence and women in leadership.
Projects with a particular focus on supporting Aboriginal Women’s leadership and older women will be encouraged, as will projects that support the implementation of the recommendations of the Respect@Work: National Inquiry into Sexual Harassment in Australian Workplaces.
Grants of up to $10,000 for one-off initiatives are available through the Department’s website. In addition, the following allocations are available through a competitive grants process advertised on the Tenders WA website:
- $10,000 - $25,000 for collaborative projects attracting joint project funding
- $25,000 up to $50,000 for pilot programs with a duration of up to two years
- $25,000 - $100,000 for programs that support the implementation of the recommendations of the Respect@Work: National Inquiry into Sexual Harassment in Australian Workplaces.
Not-for-profit and community sector organisations, unincorporated organisations, community groups and local governments are eligible to apply.
Applications close on Wednesday, 23 November 2022. For more information visit the Women’s Grants for a Stronger Future webpage.
