Australia's leading sportswomen are inspiring the nation and Minerva is with them every step of the way. Through the power of sport and business, Australia’s leading professional women voluntarily support over 750 professional sportswomen through mentoring and guidance. We are opening doors and creating career pathways for these role models and future leaders of Australia.
The Minerva Network is transforming the business playing field for women in sport, supporting them to excel both on and off the field. The Minerva mentors make it their priority to support female athletes at every stage of their career pathways, even after they’ve hung up their boots, so they can continue to exceed expectations. Your donation will help Minerva to empower more women athletes to reach new heights of success and representation on the global stage.
Please donate now to help our professional athletes fulfil their potential. Together we soar.
With your tax deductible donation we can continue to provide pro-bono mentorships, development programs and networking opportunities, helping athletes to navigate the challenges of a professional athlete and successfully transition from sport into the next phase of their careers.
There’s never been a more important time to get behind Minerva. It is only through coordinated effort that we can capitalise on the huge strides that have been made in women’s sport. As we look forward to the feats of our incredible sportswomen at the Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games, Minerva is supporting future Olympians and Paralympians in their preparation and will be right beside them as they return.
