2024

2024 is shaping up to be a great year for the Wayward Woman Giving Fund. 

In January we held our first fundraising event - a Silent Auction with 22 unique items of visual art and fashion donated by 22 amazingly talented Melbourne artists. Every item in the auction was handmade and were all won with much joy by our wonderful guests.  

This auction raised just over $2000, and we now plan to hold a Silent Auction on a yearly basis.

Community Arts and Cultural Development

Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) involves artists working collaboratively with communities for the purpose of social change through art and culture. 

Engaging with the arts can be used as a vehicle to explore and communicate social concerns, give voice to hidden issues and allow self-expression, and can have powerful impacts on health, wellbeing and the strengthening of communities.

Women’s Giving and Philanthropy 

Below is a link to a great article written by Philanthropy Australia about how Women’s philanthropy has emerged in recent decades as a distinct area using innovative and creative ideas to improve local, national and global communities.

It’s been identified that women's philanthropy is having an immense impact, while research suggests that women’s giving is at an exciting point in its history with the rise of women's health, women leading the giving in their households and giving a higher proportion of their income than men. 

Giving Circles like ours are also on the rise, bringing together women who are motivated by compassion, an emotional connection and a desire to see change in the community, coming together to collaborate with each other.

1000 x 1000 Fundraising 

As the founder of WWGF my aim for 2024 and beyond is to create a sustainable 10-year plan that sees us raising one million dollars and granting $100,000 a year for the next 10 years to worthy organisations and projects that align with our goals.

Because I believe in the power of micro-philanthropy and the power of cumulative giving, if 1000 individuals were to donate $1000 each to the WWGF we would easily reach our goal.
