BMGA FOUNDATION
Through education, mentorship, sport and leadership development, we expand access to the knowledge, skills, networks and opportunities that enable women and girls to exercise greater agency, realise their potential and succeed in work and life.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that education, opportunity and the development of human potential are fundamental to individual success and societal progress.
Women and girls deserve access to the knowledge, skills, experiences and relationships that enable them to develop their capabilities, pursue their ambitions and thrive at every stage of life.
Our work is grounded in the belief that when we invest in women and girls, we do more than support individual achievement. We strengthen their capacity to exercise agency, lead, create opportunities for others and contribute meaningfully to their communities and society.
HOW WE WORK
Through education, mentorship, sport and leadership development, we expand opportunity for women and girls and equip them with the capabilities, relationships and experiences they need to thrive and lead.

Through the BMGA Sport Lab, we use sport to help girls and adolescent girls build the confidence, resilience, teamwork and leadership they need to thrive in school, work and life.
Through the BMGA Fellows Program, we equip early-career women with the professional capabilities, mentorship and networks they need to navigate the workplace and build meaningful careers.
Through the BMGA Leadership Institute, we equip mid-career women and women leaders with the judgment, confidence and influence they need to lead effectively within organisations and communities.
WHAT WE DO
Three programmes address distinct stages in the development and leadership journey of women and girls, united by one purpose: expanding opportunity and enabling women and girls to realise their potential.
Using sport to help girls and adolescent girls build confidence, capability and leadership.
BMGA Sport Lab uses sport as a platform to help girls and adolescent girls develop confidence, teamwork, resilience, leadership and a stronger sense of possibility. Through programmes, research and partnerships, the Lab develops and scales approaches that build the character girls need to thrive in school, work and life.
Sport Lab
Preparing early-career women to navigate the transition from education to work.
The BMGA Fellows Program equips early-career women with the professional capabilities, mentorship, networks and exposure required to navigate the workplace, build meaningful careers and develop as leaders. The community of Fellows outlasts the programme.
Fellows Program
Equipping mid-career women and women leaders to lead with judgment, confidence and influence.
BMGA Leadership Institute supports mid-career women as they navigate increasing responsibility, organisational complexity and leadership. Through executive learning, peer community, mentorship and exposure, the Institute strengthens the judgment, relationships and capabilities required to lead effectively and create institutional impact.
