It was established in 2022 by a local resident, Jenny Vaughan. The purpose of the Fund is to increase the participation of women, girls, gender diverse and non-binary people in sporting activity in Melbourne’s Inner North (municipalities of Darebin, Merri-bek and Yarra).

The multi-year grants round supports local sporting groups with grants of $3,000 each year, for two years (based on satisfactory interim reporting).
