Each year, 50% of every donation will be paid to charities supporting Western Bay women, and the remaining 50% will be invested to grow a fund for the future.

Funding

Through nominations and a final vote, members get to have their say on which charities will receive funding. Recipients are announced at our anniversary event in May.

One-off Giving  

Donate any amount one time, and you become a member. We have received a range of one-off donations from anywhere between $5 to $1000+.

WBOP WOMEN'S FUND MEMBER
"I've been a member of the Women's Fund for a year now and find it fulfilling, rewarding, and so simple! I have a small monthly AP going to the fund, and in return my charitable giving towards women in need is taken care of. I can be as involved as I like, or switch off when life is busy. But when the recipients are announced each May, I know I've been part of something special. The Women's Fund is made up of women who care and want to give back to other women – and that's a nice group to be a part of." - Jo

"The compound power of small and/or regular donations is huge. Great work done by the Western Bay Womens Fund to get this fund started for the Western Bay."

"As a woman who has grown up in the Bay of Plenty, to be able to give back to fellow women who, for whatever reason need assistance, is awesome.  The work the Women's Fund does in reaching out and supporting charities for women in my local area is amazing.  To be in a group of women supporting women, and donating to the fund on a regular basis is a small contribution I can make to support a cause bigger than myself" - Melisa
