Equitable Foundations has been produced as part of a collaboration between Australians Investing In Women and the University of Melbourne’s Melbourne Social Equity Institute, with funding from Paul Ramsay Foundation. The shared vision is to help the philanthropic sector and other funders and partners improve the effectiveness of investment by understanding and responding to disadvantage and gender inequality in their area of focus.
Equitable Foundations provides exemplar models and a Framework to guide philanthropic funders in incorporating a gender lens, or gender equity principles, into their partnerships with other funders, including governmental and private entities.
The Case Studies report features key insights regarding the application of a gender lens in two case study partnerships. The report also has a companion resource, a Framework document outlining steps to apply a gender lens to partnerships and collaborations. Both resources have been produced to support philanthropic partnerships and collaborations to apply a gender lens.
