Grant Information

Wayward Woman Giving Fund (WWGF) awards grants on a yearly basis to Australian projects and programs that focus on our key area of Community Arts and Cultural Development  (projects and programs that have the goal of creating social change through art and culture).

Engaging with the arts can be used as a vehicle to explore and communicate social concerns, give voice to hidden issues and allow self-expression, and can have powerful impacts on health, wellbeing and the strengthening of communities. 

Our generous Donors and Supporters are able to see where their financial support is allocated.
