WOMEN'S GIVING CIRCLE
Philanthropy | Women’s Collective Action | Local Impact
Bega Valley women take collective action to address local needs. We welcome women connected to the Bega Valley who want to join our community to create change. Your donation makes a real and lasting impact and it is tax-deductible.
WHAT IS A WOMEN’S GIVING CIRCLE?
We’re a group of passionate, purpose-driven women working together to make a real difference in the Bega Valley. By combining our funds, skills, experience, time, and connections, we amplify our efforts and invest in local causes that truly matter.
At the heart of our intergenerational circle is the power of working together. We support one another, share wisdom, mentor, and collaborate to tackle local challenges. Along the way, we host inspiring events and create opportunities for connection, learning, and building lasting relationships. Together, we’re creating a strong, vibrant community where every woman’s contribution counts.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- The WGC project sits under the umbrella of Mumbulla Community Foundation, which provides governance, guidance structure and ensures all donations are tax-deductible
- Members commit to donating a minimum amount annually, monthly, or weekly
- Members decide together on the focus areas and how grants will be distributed annually
THE GIVING MODEL
🌱Our goal is to grow a strong collective of women who commit to give annually. These pooled donations are carefully stewarded to make a lasting difference:
- 45% is granted each year to support local grassroots projects
- 45% is invested in the WGC Perpetual Fund, building long-term impact year after year
- 10% supports sustainable fund management and administration
This model enables us to meet immediate community needs while also establishing a Perpetual Fund that will enable future granting.
🌟 Presentation Night: Power of Participation
The presentation night is a special evening where shortlisted local organisations present their inspiring projects to members of the women’s giving circle, who then decide together which initiative will receive the annual grants.
