WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN

The Eir Community Grant


We are so excited to launch our community grant program for 2025. Being in a position to give back to our community makes our heart happy. 

In 2025 we will provide a grant of up to $5000 for community projects and programs that benefit women in Australia.

This grant is aimed at helping grassroots groups who may not be eligible for government assistance, or too small to attract the attention of larger organisations.

We’re looking for organisations that help women in need and make a difference through practical assistance.

Eligibility criteria

  • The organisation is not-for-profit and has Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Item 1 status.
  • The community project or program must be based in Australia.
  • Organisation or program must not be associated with other organisations with significant funding.
  • Organisation must directly support women.

If you feel that your organisation qualifies, then we can’t wait to hear about it. Please submit an application below or send your answers to info@eirwomen.com.au

Shortlisted applicants will be contacted to provide further information as required.

Eir Women reserves the right to exercise its discretion in granting funds to support women.

How we assess applications

Applications are assessed by the Eir Women team with final decision made by co-founders Kate Guaran and Lisa Walker.

We have a legal and moral obligation to ensure that funds are managed to maximise their benefit to women in the community. Therefore we need to ensure that there is financial accountability and evidence of measurable outcomes.

Judging Criteria

  • The program directly impacts women, with emphasis on homelessness, domestic violence or displaced women and children in Australia.
  • Evidence of planning and measurable outcomes.
  • Not associated with larger or well-established organisations with significant funding.
  • Use of volunteers in the delivery of services.

Timing

  •  Applications open 1st February 2025.
  • Applications close 28th February 2025.
  • Applicants will be notified by end of March with announcement at that time.

Thank you and we can't wait to see the applications. 

Lisa + Kate.
