Our Impact

At the Confident Girls Foundation we work with grassroots service providers to develop and implement programs aimed at creating more opportunities for girls going through adversity. With the support of our donors, partners and supporters, we’ve achieved so much. There’s the little things – we’ve sent equipment to club houses affected by flooding in Northern Queensland, funded the registration for one girl in rural Australia, supported a school get their netball team to the Indigenous carnival in Darwin.
And there’s the big things – we’ve provided Inclusion NetSetGO programs in over 300 different centres, created a police protected netball league for families suffering from domestic violence, supported the first Indigenous High Performance Camp, continued to expand our Gazelles Empowerment program, providing girls with the knowledge and resources to become confident young women. Read our Donor Reports to hear more about how we directly impact the lives of girls going through adversity.
