Women's Grants for a Stronger Future Program now open

The State Government's Women's Grants for a Stronger Future Program is now open, with $1.085 million in funding available for a variety of projects that support and address the unique issues faced by Western Australian women.

The Grants support the development of projects that advance gender equality to build a better, fairer and more equitable community.

This year, there are four separate grant opportunities:

• Annual Grants Program: Grants up to $10,000 for one-off initiatives
• Pilot Projects Grants Program: Grants between $20,000 to $50,000 for pilot projects with a duration of two years that target one or more of the four priority areas of Stronger Together (health, safety and justice, economic independence and leadership)
• Women-led Economic Initiatives Grants Program: Grants between $50,000 to $100,000 for women-led, community-based initiatives that focus on driving economic gender equality, and
• Safety and Justice Grants Program: Grants between $100,000 to $250,000 for projects that work towards the primary prevention of violence against women, with a focus on sexual violence.
