Good Return enables women and their families to access opportunity and build financial security.
You’re invited!
At Good Return's upcoming Conversations for Change, you’ll have the rare opportunity to sit at the table with our experts flying in from across the region — from the Solomon Islands to Cambodia, Indonesia to remote Australia. With great nibbles, drinks, and inspiring conversations, this is your chance to experience financial inclusion up close—and be part of the change. Our event partner and host Macquarie Group is generously matching a portion of all Conversations for Change donations.

What we do
Good Return is working to end poverty through sustainable change. Our focus is providing responsible finance to local entrepreneurs, as well as education and business training to women and other excluded groups to build confidence and financial capability. The result is a growing generation of empowered entrepreneurs, taking control of their finances, their livelihoods and their futures.
With digital tools, training, and awareness campaigns, we help people build the confidence, knowledge, and skills to make informed financial decisions — enabling them to manage money well, grow businesses, and stay resilient through economic and climate challenges.
Good Return’s award-winning Impact Investing fund leverages capital from Australian and global investors to make loans to women entrepreneurs in our region. Our Fund 2 is now open to socially minded investors ready to be part of real change.
We partner with financial service providers to extend responsible loans to underserved businesses, especially women-led ones, while training their staff to adopt inclusive practices and strengthen their commitment to reach more clients.
