International Women’s Day is a powerful moment to celebrate progress, raise awareness, and call for change. But at 100 Women, supporting women and girls isn’t just a single-day focus—it’s at the heart of everything we do, every day of the year.⁠ ⁠ Every grant we fund, every conversation we spark, and every new member who joins our giving circle is part of a movement that uplifts women not just for one day, but all year round. From providing safe spaces for Aboriginal girls to mentoring women entrepreneurs in Nepal, our 47 funded projects are a testament to our year-round commitment to women and girls. These images are a snapshot of the impact we're making every single day. Because when women are empowered, communities thrive. When resources are directed toward women and girls, the ripple effect is undeniable. And when we come together, we don’t just fund change—we create it.⁠ ⁠ This International Women’s Day, let’s go beyond celebration. Let’s take action. Let’s commit to making an impact today, tomorrow, and every day after that.⁠ ⁠ If you believe in the power of impact-driven giving, we invite you to be part of this movement. Follow us, subscribe, and stay connected as we continue making a difference—together. - https://lnkd.in/gkxmrCHA Photo credits: Grant Recipients 2014-2024 - https://lnkd.in/dX9Pjmqd

LET'S TALK...... How do you talk about 100 Women to your friends, colleagues and family? We had a lovely chat with Pippa Worthington, one of our biggest advocates and a member since 2024, who has been rallying new members like it's her full time job! (What a queen!) "Who doesn't want to be involved in something that's empowering for the people who give - as well as for the people that benefit from it?" This International Women's Day - we ask you to help us. Can you tag three people you know that care about community and equality? Remember: 💞 100% of every new member's donation goes into our grants pool. 💞 100% of the donation is tax deductible 💞 Members choose where the funding goes 💞 You can join for less than $1 a day! 💞 Anyone can join! We need your help to build a community of every day philanthropists so don't forget to share, like and comment on this post. Together is so much better - don't you think? 🙌

This International Women's Day, alongside our own, we are proud to be part of the She Gives campaign and celebrate all the extraordinary women who have shared their stories so far. 50 stories and counting!⁠ ⁠ At 100 Women, we believe in the power of collective action, and She Gives embodies that spirit perfectly. We are especially proud to see our amazing co-founder Alicia Curtis and incredible ambassador, Rabia Siddique (QCVS BA LLB GAICD FAIM CSP), featured as the inspiring women in the campaign. ⁠ ⁠ She Gives recently reached a significant milestone of sharing 50 stories of women’s giving, marking the halfway point to its goal of 100 stories—inspiring more Australians to give, give more, and give more impactfully. As a sector partner, we’ve been deeply inspired by the generosity of women across the country who are driving enormous positive social change.⁠ ⁠ We can’t wait to read and celebrate the next 50 stories!⁠ ⁠ Read the stories and join the movement: https://lnkd.in/gctsjG9j ⁠ #100Women #SheGives #IWD2025 #WomeninPhilanthropy
