Sydney Women’s Fund’s annual Saluting Sydney Women lunch is always one of the highlights of our year, and this year was no exception.

We were honoured to celebrate the incredible Suzie Miller, a trailblazing playwright whose storytelling has amplified women’s voices, challenged injustice and reshaped conversations about gender equality. Her work reminds us that when women’s stories are heard, they have the power to shift perspectives and shape a more equitable future.

We were also delighted to announce Suzie as the inaugural Ambassador of Sydney Women’s Fund, a partnership we’re incredibly excited about as we continue to grow our impact across Greater Sydney.

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors who made the event possible: our Silver Sponsors, Deloitte and Clayton Utz, and our Bronze Sponsor, Glow Capital.

While the lunch may be over, the work continues. Every day, Sydney Women’s Fund partners with communities, invests in grassroots organisations and backs women to lead change where it’s needed most. If you’d like to be part of that journey we’d love to connect. ❤️

We hosted the most beautiful breakfast with 10 women who we provided with scholarships to attend Women Deliver with us and with our SWF community. Each and everyone impressed with their commitment to gender equity and the programs they are delivering.

The Sydney Women’s Fund has been in Melbourne this week for Women Deliver Conference 2026.

If there’s one thread running through the sessions and conversations, it’s this: progress on gender equity requires us to show up differently. More inclusive. More collaborative. And more willing to do things in new ways. Not just talking about diverse voices, but making real space for them.

We are pleased to have supported 10 grassroots organisations from Sydney to attend the conference. These organisations are doing the community-led work every day, and it’s been great to see that work shared on a global stage.

Being part of this week has reinforced the role Sydney Women’s Fund can play in backing community-led work and contributing to a broader movement for change ❤️

We are excited to announce Community Funds for Gender Equity is launching! Thanks to those that came along today to hear more about this important milestone.

Sydney Women’s Fund is proud to be part of this growing alliance of women’s funds, giving circles, and community and Indigenous-led initiatives working together to advance gender equity across the country.

We know that progress doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through connection—when communities, movements and resources come together to support shared goals. This collaboration is about strengthening those connections and building the infrastructure needed for collective action.

Community philanthropy plays a vital role. It’s not about solutions flowing to communities, but being led by them—backing local knowledge, lived experience, and grassroots action to drive meaningful and lasting change.

By working together, we can build something stronger and more enduring—supporting local action while contributing to a broader movement for gender equity.

Get in touch if you would like to know more.
