Women and Community with Lisa Grinham

Lisa Grinham runs the Sydney Women's Fund, founded on the idea that when you invest in women, communities benefit.

Leaving her corporate career behind Lisa moved into the charitable sector, and loves that her work makes a maningful impact. We talked about the challenges women are facing right now and how SWF supports them, the importance of community and creating solutions from within, the bais women still face, and so much more.

This was a really fun conversation, I hope the time flies by for you too!

In this episode we discuss:

  • The Sydney Women's Fund's mission to improve the lives of women and their families.
  • They have given out $18m in funding to support women!
  • The Sydney Women's Portrait research that now covers 10 years, looking at the trends of life and experience for women in Sydney
  • For 80% of women, cost of living is currently their greatest concern.
  • 47% of women are overwhelmed, and the same percentage have little time to pursue things that matter to them
  • The imperative of maintaining finacial security and independence, as a lack of access to funds can keep women stuck
  • The introduction of superannuation on parental leave as an important stepping stone
  • The tipping point with domestic and family violence earlier this year, and SWF's appeal to raise money to support women escaping abuse
  • "Pink" jobs, and how they contribute to financial inequality
  • Some of Lisa's own stories of bias (she was once told women are getting all the jobs now!)
