Zahra Foundation Australia was founded by Arman, Atena and Anita Abrahimzadeh in collaboration with the South Australian domestic violence sector.

The Zahra Foundation is a not-for-profit that supports women impacted by domestic abuse, providing free programs, services, education and grants promoting economic well-being and empowering participants to rebuild their life. The foundation aims to address the financial abuse and disadvantage often experienced by women and children affected by domestic and family violence. We do this by providing small grants and tailored programs that create pathways for women and children into further education or employment which build a woman's capacity to live free from violence and abuse.

🧡 $28,667 for Zahra Foundation, and an impact that goes far beyond the funding!

We were incredibly proud to stand alongside four outstanding charities at the Impact100 South Australia Grant Awards Night, where we received $28,667 to help remove barriers preventing women from attending our regional EXPLORE program.

Congratulations to Fat Farmers and Streetlight, who each received $125,000, and fellow finalists The One Box and @ Backpacks 4 SA Kids INC., who also received $28,667.

What makes Impact100 SA so special is so much more than the funding. It's the connections, shared expertise and opportunities to collaborate across sectors, creating new ways to support our communities, challenge behaviours and help prevent domestic and family violence. These relationships and opportunities will continue to strengthen our work for years to come.

A special thank you to our wonderful mentors, Amanda Anderson and Jennifer Rees from William Buck, for their generosity, time, guidance and encouragement throughout this journey.

And to Impact100 South Australia, its members and the wider philanthropic community, thank you for believing in the power of working together to create lasting change.

More than 2.4 million Australians experience financial abuse each year.

That's millions of people whose ability to access money, make financial decisions and maintain independence may be restricted by someone else.

At Zahra Foundation, we support women who have left an abusive relationship to rebuild financial confidence, strengthen their independence and create more opportunities for their future.

Learn to recognise the signs of financial abuse and help others do the same. Visit our website to learn more.

"Since working with the Zahra Foundation, I have a better understanding where my money is going and believe I can stand on my own two feet. I don’t need to rely on my partner.”

For Yasmin, financial abuse meant having limited over her own money, with her partner managing her finances and making financial decisions on her behalf.

With Zahra Foundation’s support, Yasmin has gained a better understanding of her finances, opened her own bank account and accessed legal support, taking practical steps towards greater confidence, independence and choice.
