Standard Membership

Benefits

We know that collective giving is satisfying and increases your individual impact

Donation Level

100% of your membership donation is aggregated with other member's donations to provide grant funds for each financial year

Our Members

Our members are a variety of ages, backgrounds and interests, united by a desire to make a valuable philanthropic contribution

A member must donate in each financial year to continue their membership.

Their membership lasts until June 30th of the financial year following the financial year in which they made their last donation.

However, to reduce the load on our volunteers and assist our planning, we ask that members renew 12 months after their last donation rather than wait until the final days prior to June 30th of that following financial year.

We send all members renewal reminders 12 months after their last donation for that purpose.

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.
