Workplace Giving

Why give in your workplace?

Workplace giving is one of most impactful ways you can help us to empower young vulnerable women to become strong, independent, and capable of taking their place in the world. Your contribution will help support young vulnerable women with their transition from out of home care into independent living around Australia.

Regular donations through workplace give us the certainty we need to plan. A lot of people giving a little on a regular basis will make a world of difference.

How does it work?

It enables you as an employee to make a real difference through regular donations from your pre-tax pay whilst going about your everyday work. It doesn’t take much; in fact you probably won’t notice the difference to your pay. By donating money directly through your payroll system, your donation is deducted from your pre-tax salary. This means you obtain the tax benefit immediately, rather than having to apply at the end of the financial year. You can donate as much or little as you like (minimum $1).

There is no need for you to remember to make a payment each month. You can opt out anytime as you have full control over your giving and it is a tax effective way to give to a charity, costing you less to give more. Your place of work may also match your donation, making your donation even more significant.

Contact your workplace giving team which is generally your Human Resources or Payroll team. If you can’t find the right person, let The Warrior Woman Foundation help you by contacting us at: warrior@warriorwoman.org.au

We provide a safe and welcoming space for young women to share, learn, heal and grow. Each young woman is connected with a mentor as well as a network of diverse community-minded women who provide ongoing support and share their life experiences, resources and opportunities:

  • Connection to a safe, stable, and socially inclusive network of female role models to turn to for advice and ongoing support for the duration of the six-month program.
  • Connection to a non-judgmental group of young women who are facing similar challenges.
  • Connection to Kindred Warrior Peers, young women who have experienced challenges in life and have gone on to achieve life success.
  • Weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions with a safe mentor.

We teach young women the life skills they need to succeed in everyday life. Our “teach a young woman to fish” approach gives them support and guidance at every step, knowing that true empowerment comes from them learning to do things for themselves. In particular, we focus on financial literacy and job readiness:

  • Life-skills workshops to build self-reliance.
  • A six-week Financial Literacy program (in partnership with MoneyGirl).
  • A four-week Job Readiness program.
  • Assistance in gaining and retaining meaningful employment.
  • Access to a range of vocational skills scholarships (e.g., Code Like a Girl) and internships.

Many young women experience trauma which negatively impacts their confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. We support and nurture the trauma healing process in safe psycho-educational workshops facilitated by experts. In these sessions, young women learn to engage with self-compassion, and to soften and contain threat-based emotions, such as fear and anxiety, anger, shame and self-criticism.
