The NSW Government is encouraging charities, not-for-profits, companies limited by guarantee and local government organisations within NSW to apply for grant funding to hold events and activities during NSW Women’s Week.
The 2019 NSW Women’s Week (3-9 March 2019) has been established as a centrepiece to support the NSW Government’s commitment to improve the lives of women in NSW.
The NSW Women’s Week grants provide local organisations with an opportunity to deliver a range of education, mentoring and participatory activities that will provide direct benefit local to women and girls.
Funding is available across two categories:
- Up to $1,000 for small scale events and activities
- $1,001 to $5,000 for larger scale events and activities
Grants objective

- Participation and empowerment
Grant funding can be used for the direct costs of the event/activity, including promotion, entertainment, catering, venue hire and transport for participants.
