What our members say

I joined the Melbourne Women's Fund to learn more about philanthropy and connect with a diverse network. It's rewarding to play a small role in building capacity for organisations that support women and families. Giving together to create significant impact is fun and so powerful.

I have always wanted to help people, which stems from volunteer work I’ve done at school and uni. I joined the Melbourne Women’s Fund, as I can see how we can do more together, than individually. I've learnt so much already.

For women who are thinking about joining, Melbourne Women’s Fund creates a really great opportunity to get involved in making a difference, and it’s manageable when you’ve got a really busy life.
