Victorian Women's Trust Ltd
The Victorian Women’s Trust Ltd (VWT) was created in 1985 with a state government gift of $1 million.
This was part of the sesqui-centennial celebrations and was an acknowledgement of women’s contribution to Victorian society over 150 years. It was decided that a Trust for women and girls should be created. In 1993, VWT became fully independent from government. Without any restrictive ties, we are able to speak freely on issues affecting women and girls.
VWT is the engine room driving our research, policy and advocacy work, ensuring the public record better reflects women’s achievements and contributions. Donations to the VWT Ltd are crucial to our continued work.
