$88,000, what a huge difference this would make in supporting us to grow and consolidate the impact of the House of Hope in our community.

We are humbled and thankful to be shortlisted to pitch for this grant alongside two other incredible and worthy charities, The Empowerment Challenge and Western Chances.

If successful the grant would fund a Lead Alcohol and Other Drug Worker at the House of Hope, ensuring women and their children receive tailored care and recovery support.

The P500 grant is a collective giving program run by the Geelong Community Foundation where individuals donate $500 annually to support local community organizations.

Donors participate in the final selection by voting for one of the shortlisted organizations on Pitch Night.
