Grant & Scholarship
Guidelines 2021
Please read carefully to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria and guidelines.
The BWC Charitable Giving Program comprises a variety of ways that BWC and its members can be involved in championing worthwhile causes that support local women – through activities such as goods drives, distribution of a BWC grant and scholarship, specific fundraising activities and volunteer opportunities.
In the past, BWC has provided grants to a range of organisations and causes in Brisbane and its local surrounds[1], including A Brave Life, Suited to Success, Yalari Indigenous Scholarships, Women’s Legal Service, Friends with Dignity and to fund research projects for issues that impact women, such as ovarian cancer.
