The Sydney Women’s Fund (SWF) has launched a campaign that took just over a week to create in response to the series of horrific violent incidents against women dominating news cycles that the government has called a national crisis. The Fund’s ongoing work with frontline services operating in the domestic and sexual violence space was instrumental in building the rapid campaign more commonly associated with large not-for-profits dealing in disaster response.

In response to member interest, Philanthropy Australia shares this list collated by Australian Philanthropic Services (APS) of not-for-profit organisations working to prevent domestic violence and support affected individuals and families in Australia. APS itself has just updated the extensive (but not exhaustive) list in response to client interest following latest developments. |
