The Sisterhood Foundation is proud to support a portfolio of long-term charity partners that share our mission to create life-changing health outcomes. While our portfolio is currently fully subscribed, from time-to-time we introduce new partners.

We invite expressions of interest from eligible organisations.  We encourage prospective partners to familiarise themselves with our selection criteria to ensure alignment with our mission and purpose and to think about how we might support capacity-building.

We fund capacity-building work for sustainable impact

At the Sisterhood Foundation, we believe that strong organisations build stronger futures. That’s why we invest in capacity building—the ongoing process by which charities strengthen their internal resources, systems, and processes to better achieve their mission.

For our Charity Partners, capacity building means more than just operational support. It’s about empowering organisations to deliver their vision more effectively and sustainably.

We fund initiatives across 11 key domains:

  • Technology, Systems & Infrastructure
  • People Resources, Management & Learning
  • Marketing & Public Relations
  • Fundraising & Business Development
  • Research & Impact Measurement
  • Finance & Accounting
  • Strategy & Planning
  • Governance & Legal
  • Leadership & Agility
  • Networking & Sector connectivity
  • Advocacy

 

We tailor our funding to match each organisation’s stage of maturity and existing strengths—ensuring that capacity building efforts are not only strategic, but also transformative. When charities thrive behind the scenes, their impact in the community multiplies.

Eligibility Criteria for Charity Partnership Consideration

To ensure alignment with our mission and purpose, the Sisterhood Foundation has established clear selection criteria for potential charity partners. Organisations must demonstrate a strong commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of Australian women and girls and meet specific operational and strategic benchmarks.

Before you express interest, please ensure you meet our selection criteria:

  • Have deductible gift recipient (DGR) status
  • Be registered with the Australian Charities & Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)
  • Deliver programs that focus exclusively or predominantly on the health and wellbeing of women and girls in Australia
  • Have a core charitable purpose that aligns with the Sisterhood’s purpose and mission
  • Not be overly reliant on Government funding
  • Be of a small to medium size with an annual operating budget between $1 million and $10 million and/or hold assets worth less than $5 million
  • Aspire to a national, or at least strong intra-state, presence
  • Not have core relationships with key competitors of Wesfarmers Health businesses
  • Operate within Australia only
  • Offer programs or services that are distinct from existing Charity Partners
