The Empowher Education Fund

The Hunter Valley and Newcastle's vibrant wine, tourism, and hospitality sectors thrive on incredible female talent. Yet, a clear disparity remains in leadership roles. The Hunter EmpowHER Association is stepping up to change this narrative with the launch of the EmpowHER Education Fund!

This fund directly addresses financial barriers, offering grants up to $2,000 to empower women* to pursue advanced education, certifications, industry conferences, and mentorship opportunities. Our goal? To create a more equitable and inclusive professional landscape where every woman can lead and succeed.
