About Us
Noble Ambition
Noble Ambition is an Australian leader in fundraising strategy and capacity building in the for-purpose sector. We actively engage in research and thought leadership on behalf of the sector and share resources within the industry. Our vision is to see billions of new philanthropic monies invested in the for-purpose sector to achieve transformational social impact. She Gives is an initiative of Noble Ambition, reflecting our vision to see billions of new philanthropic moneis invested in the for-purpose sector to achieve transformational social impact.
After serving on the board of the Stella Prize and providing the impetus to embark on its $2 million women-led philanthropic campaign to endow the prize in perpetuity, CEO Melissa Smith saw first-hand what was possible when women collectively act on a bold vision. She Gives is the result of that journey and the knowledge that campaigns can drive change – changing the conversation, profile and engagement with women’s giving nationally. We want to celebrate, profile and share experiences, learnings and insights to collectively build the capacity of women’s giving – to give, give more, and give more impactfully.
