It’s proof that their philanthropic giving isn’t just generous — it’s transformational.”
— Judy Foster, Chief Development Director

These examples show the power of giving to Good Return:

  • Are you a small PAF or giving fund looking to distribute up to $10,000? This could fund financial literacy training sessions for women living in a remote village of Papua New Guinea, building their confidence to budget, save and plan for their family’s future.

  • Are you a medium-sized PAF ready to give $20,000-$50,000? You could fund an in-person gathering of 15 Indigenous entrepreneurs who live and work in remote locations in Australia, so they can share business ideas and build leadership skills.

  • Are you are large PAF with $50,000 and over? Let’s talk about your philanthropic interests and goals - whether it be a particular country or community, a focus on entrepreneurship or women’s economic empowerment, or breaking down a specific barrier within the financial system.
