NSW Women’s Week Grants - 2027

NSW Women’s Week celebrates the contributions of women from all backgrounds and promotes gender equality across NSW. In 2027, Women’s Week will run from Tuesday 2 March to Monday 8 March, aligning with International Women’s Day on 8 March.

Women’s Week Grants fund events held during Women’s Week that advance gender equality by:

• increasing the empowerment and participation of women and girls in our communities
• celebrating and strengthening focus communities
• challenging gender stereotypes, roles and expectations.

Women’s Week Grants fund innovative events that increase the empowerment and participation of women and girls in our communities, which advances gender equality in the long term. Funding provides Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations, rural, regional and remote-based organisations and not-for-profits with an opportunity to give back to their communities by delivering events or activities that benefit local women and girls. 

NSW Women’s Week events must align with at least one of the 3 pillars of the NSW Women's Strategy (2023-2026), these pillars are:

1. Pillar 1 - economic opportunity and advancement
2. Pillar 2 - health and wellbeing
3. Pillar 3 - participation and empowerment
