Exciting news for changemakers in the ACT! YWCA Canberra is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 Great Ydeas Small Grants Awards—a fantastic initiative designed to help women, girls, and gender-diverse people bring their ideas to life!

With grants of up to $2,500 available, this program supports emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and community advocates in turning their innovative projects into reality.

Since its launch in 2010, as a special gift for YWCA Canberra’s 80th birthday, the Great Ydeas Small Grants Awards has funded over 95 projects—from social enterprises and advocacy campaigns to creative works and community programs.

YWCA Canberra CEO, Frances Crimmins, says:
“We are beyond proud to fund this program. It’s always inspiring to see how these ideas grow, creating a more inclusive and vibrant Canberra for everyone.”

So, if you’ve got a big idea and need a little funding to get started—this is your chance! Applications are open now and close on 28 March 2025. Recipients will be announced in April at a special event celebrating the bright minds shaping our community’s future.
