Ecstra Women’s Economic Security Project Grants

Ecstra Foundation

offer philanthropic support to charities and social enterprises creating meaningful employment opportunities for women who face barriers accessing mainstream paid work

support organisations to integrate financial capability and personalised support into the delivery of these initiatives

The intended grant outcomes are:

more opportunities for women to access meaningful and secure paid work through an employer, cooperative or their own enterprise – helping them achieve their career and financial goals

more women are supported to build their financial capability, confidence and decision making through access to timely, relevant and tailored resources/support

to enable charities and social enterprises to scale and share sustainable Initiatives

contribute to the evidence base of ‘what works’ in building women’s economic security and financial wellbeing in Australia.

As a guide, funding proposals should be between $50,000 – $300,000 depending on the scale of the initiative and the relative size of the applicant.
