Your Donation Helps The Homeless

You Choose the Amount
You choose the amount that you want to donate to help someone else in need. Your donation helps us assist people sleeping on the streets.

You can change the amount you donate at any time depending on your situation. This gives you a greater level of control over your ability to help.

Donations are Tax Deductible
You can claim your donations at tax time, so you’re cutting down your taxable income while helping someone in need.

You’re Helping Someone in Need
45,800 people are sleeping rough on Australian streets this year and are subjected to the harsh Australian weather. While there are homeless shelters, they are usually full and sometimes more dangerous then sleeping on the streets.

Your donation will help someone sleep safer on the streets each night and help give their dignity back. This not only keeps them safer but can help save their life.

Your Impact - Social Return on Investment (SROI)

Every $144 Backpack Bed = $3,319 in Community Impact
For every Backpack Bed distributed to a homeless person without shelter, we deliver $3,319 in savings to the community in health, employment and justice costs. More than $132 million of "Social Impact" has been provided by helping homeless Aussies on the streets across Australia (source: 180 Degrees Consulting, 2018). This was achieved with only 3 full time staff.
