Australians Investing In Women

Strengthening society by investing in women and girls


Australians Investing in Women is a leading non-for-profit advocate for Gender-wise philanthropy.

Australians Investing In Women is a leading national not-for-profit that advocates for gender equality by encouraging more philanthropic investment in women and girls, locally and globally. We help individuals and organizations to invest in initiatives that benefit women and girls across a range of social issues, such as education, housing, mental health, the arts and medical research.

Investing in women and girls has a proven multiplier effect on families, communities and economies as well as on climate, global peace and security.

Private and corporate philanthropists may assume that the program they are giving benefits everyone when, in reality, without an intentional focus on gender, women and girls often miss out. Applying a gender lens is simply about asking the right questions and investing with purpose to help create s fairer and more equal society for all.
