The Women’s Leadership and Development Program Grants provide funding to national women’s non-government organisations (NGOs) to ensure that women’s voices are heard in all areas of Australian life.
2008- 09 Women’s Leadership and Development Program Grants
During 2008-09, national women’s NGOs were invited to apply for funding to develop an exciting and diverse range of projects that support national women’s NGOs to interact more effectively with women who are not engaged in current policy debates, including (but not limited to) women from marginalised groups; and improve service delivery to these women.
