Mercy Foundation

The Mercy Foundation is committed to social justice and structural change to create greater equity and inclusion in the Australian community.

The Mercy Foundation supports projects and initiatives that contribute to ending homelessness. Grants to end homelessness prioritise projects that focus on ending chronic homelessness, particularly for women who are experiencing chronic homelessness.

We also have a special interest in combatting modern slavery.

The Mercy Foundation also provides seed funding to community groups and organisations working to address a social justice issue. Grants up to $10,000 are available.

• People experiencing chronic homelessness
• Disadvantaged women and children

Please note the Mercy Foundation does not provide services directly to individuals.

There are a number of projects in progress with the Mercy Foundation. Information about these projects can be found on our website or by signing up for our e-newsletter.

Home in a Box is one of the projects currently run by the Mercy Foundation. Home in a Box provides people who move into housing, after spending a significant period of time homeless, with the basics they need to set up a home.  Many of these people have few possessions making it difficult and expensive to set up a home. Home in a Box provides the warmth and comfort of sheets, towels, pillows, doonas, kitchenware, utensils and other essential items.

Home in a Box was developed to help people sustain their housing, by creating a home.
