How we are funded

Women’s Refuge is a not-for-profit charitable organisation. Between 50 to 60 percent of our work is funded by government. The rest of our income is raised through fundraising, events, philanthropic trusts and bequests. We rely on generous donations from members of the public, businesses and other private funders and trusts to offer essential services that help women and children every day.

Our national fundraising unit raises funds and creates awareness of our daily work through:

• a national annual appeal and a Christmas appeal
• corporate sponsorship
• fundraising events
• a database of regular donors
• encouraging payroll giving
• bequests.
