“Many thanks for this assistance - this is a great resource which helps vulnerable women in need.” January 2020. Referring Agency: Star Health
International Women’s Day is your chance to make a positive difference for women. Why not start local and help single, disadvantaged women in need in Victoria?
Operating since 1887, The Queen’s Fund supports single women in Victoria who need emergency financial relief due to family violence, mental illness, or medical issues by providing grants of up to $350.
Women are referred to us by social workers from 160 welfare agencies across Victoria. They are in the best position to determine how to help the woman in need and continue to support her after our assistance has been provided. Payment is always made to a third party debtor (i.e. landlord, utility or medical or educational provider) not to the woman herself.
By donating to The Queen's Fund you will help us prevent homelessness, enable a woman to escape domestic violence, provide education or training for a woman and/or her children, pay essential medical bills or provide crucial breathing space so a woman can get her life back on track.
And the best part is 100% of your donation will go to the women who need it most. Our organisation is run entirely by volunteers and with pro bono support. Any overheads we do incur are covered by a historical bequest.
