Women for Change is a group of people, under the auspice of the Bass Coast Community Foundation, who use their collective resources and abilities to make positive changes. Women for Change is an effective way to connect with other like-minded people, learn more about issues in our community and pool funds for greater social impact.

How it works
Women for Change creates opportunities for women from all walks of life to participate in philanthropy by providing a vehicle to donate. Individuals can give money and/or time and then contribute to decisions about which charity or community projects are supported, to help local women make a life change, or take a step toward greater well-being.
What we do
Women for Change works collaboratively to research and review community issues and then invite applications for an annual grants program. Charities and community projects apply for the grants to undertake work that improves the lives and well-being for women in our community.
Why the need
There is overwhelming evidence that investing in women and girls has a flow on effect to families, communities and the environment. And, women suffer greater and often different disadvantage to men especially in developing countries but also in Australia, and that disadvantage must be addressed.
