About the WeirAnderson Foundation

Targeted philanthropy can help make the world a better place, particularly if it can be leveraged to achieve gender equality. The WeirAnderson Foundation is a Private Ancillary Fund. We support cultural, educational and civil society organisations that incorporate a gender lens in their work, and that are focused on progressive outcomes. 

Gender equality isn’t just the right thing to do: it is fundamental to more successful and sustainable societies. When women and girls have the opportunity to fully participate in education, the economy and civil society, there are improvements across the board.

The WeirAnderson Foundation is a member of Mannifera, a collective of Australian philanthropic funders supporting a stronger democracy and a fairer Australia. We support Australians Investing In Women, and Deanne is on the Advisory Board of the She Gives campaign, highlighting the critical role women play in philanthropy.

The WeirAnderson Foundation is not currently taking submissions for funding.
