Investing in Women Program - 2023-24

This program funds NSW organisations to develop and implement projects that advance the role, status and contribution of women and girls in our communities.

The Investing in Women Funding Program seeks to fund innovative projects that focus on the three pillars that align with the NSW Women’s Strategy (2023 – 2026), in particular pillars two and three; Health and Wellbeing, and Participation and Empowerment.

Projects must involve high-quality activity, engagement, and participation with one of the following focus communities of Women NSW.  

More than one focus community can participate in the project, but applications must nominate one focus community to be targeted. These include: 

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls 
• Women and girls from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities 
• Women and girls with disability  
• Women and girls living in regional, rural and remote areas 
• Women and girls experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage 
• Women and girls facing homelessness 
• Carers 
• Older women
• Young women 
• Women veterans
• Women and girls in contact with the criminal justice system
• Girls and young women living in or who have lived in out of home care 
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and/or asexual (LGBTIQA+) women and girls

Application budgets must include a minimum of 10 per cent of the total project cost from other sources of income. This can be financial income or in-kind.
