She Gives – New national campaign celebrates Australian women as powerful agents for positive social change
Australian women are entering the spotlight as influential modern philanthropists, with a new paper
highlighting their growing power as change agents working to address some of the pressing
challenges of our time.
Released today, the paper marks the launch of She Gives, a new campaign celebrating the collective
contributions of women across Australia who are making a positive difference across many causes,
with the aim of inspiring more giving nationally.
Women are poised to come into greater economic power in coming decades, inheriting up to $3.4
trillion or two-thirds of the intergenerational wealth in the next 20 years as Australia approaches the
greatest wealth transfer in our history.
The She Gives campaign seeks to highlight the catalytic potential impact of women’s giving and
harness the collective power, networks and ambition of Australian women to accelerate positive social
change in the face of growing need.
She Gives will also add valuable insights on the nature of women’s giving in Australia to inform future
understanding on what is needed to grow giving in Australia overall.
