The launch marked the release of the largest mixed-methods study of women’s giving ever undertaken nationally. Drawing on insights from more than 2,000 women, the report highlights the powerful role women already play in shaping generosity across Australia - and calls for a deliberate national shift to recognise, resource and grow women’s giving at scale.

The occasion was both a celebration and a call to action, underscoring the pivotal opportunity presented by Australia’s $5.4 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer and the urgent need to strengthen philanthropy in response to rising social need.
