Pulse Check: The Visibility of Women’s Giving
Drawing on media analysis, national philanthropy rankings and the Australian honours system, this Pulse Check tracks where progress has occurred, where gaps remain and what still needs to change.
Growing Women’s Giving in Australia
Informed by more than 2,000 women, this is the largest mixed-methods study of women’s giving ever undertaken in Australia. The findings are both powerful and urgent.
She Gives began as a campaign to celebrate, share and inspire women’s giving. We are now a movement mobilising women who give at any scale, to any cause, that accelerates positive social change.
She Gives seeks to deepen understanding, foster collaboration and inspire action through inclusive storytelling, convening and research.
She Gives is a Noble Ambition initiative.

Why women and why now?
Women have always played a critical role in giving in Australia.
Escalating rates of poverty, the housing crisis, violence against women and the impacts of climate change are just some of the reasons that the need for increased charitable giving is greater than ever.
With women set to inherit 65 per cent of the $5.4 trillion that will be handed down in Australia’s largest intergenerational wealth transfer over the next 10 years, there is enormous opportunity for us to give, give more and give with greater impact.

Stories of giving
Every woman’s experience of giving is different, so what could be better than sitting down for a chat with women from all over Australia to hear their story? Over the course of this Campaign, we have collected over 140 stories to demonstrate the positive difference women are making across many causes, at many levels. These incredible women open their hearts and share their personal experiences with giving and hopes for the future. We ask the same four questions each time. Each woman’s answers are surprising, inspiring and uniquely hers.
Our intention is that all women, no matter background or experience, are able to see themselves in the stories shared.
Collective Impact
She Gives aims to shine a light on the power and collective contribution of women’s giving in Australia through inspiring profiles, stories, news and events. Join in our conversations around giving, and help us share and celebrate the incredible contributions of women as agents for positive social change.
