Who decides where Confident Girls funds are invested?
The Netball Foundation uses a rigorous process to ensure funds reach disadvantaged girls.
A Committee appointed by the Board oversees grant giving transparency and accountability.
How do I know my money is going to those who need netball most?
The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) (a measure of geographically concentrated
disadvantage) will be used to determine where Confident Girls funds are invested. The
SEIFA was created by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and uses information such as low
income, low education and occupational status as markers of disadvantage.
Communities with no existing netball programs are prioritised.
Can anyone donate to Confident Girls?
Yes. Join in the fun and share the love of netball to give those girls who need netball most a
go!
How much money do I need to donate?
You can donate as little or as much as you want. If a lot of people give a little, more girls will
benefit from the game. Any donations over $2 are fully tax deductible.
