Donate

Every donation counts! You can help us break the cycle of homelessness.

We have provided safe, supportive, and permanent homes for more than 500 people, including over 60 children, throughout our ten years of operation.

We would like to expand the services we provide to our tenants, and your donation could help us help our tenants to maintain their tenancies by:

  • Providing the families in our programs with children’s play equipment
  • Organising community activities to promote social inclusion
  • Equipping new tenants with a welcome kit
  • Supplying gardening tools and cleaning services
  • Support for our tenants to maintain their tenancies
  • Improve the health and wellbeing of our tenants to help them flourish

Why your donation matters

The right to affordable and permanent housing for the most vulnerable and chronically homeless people in our community.

Supportive Housing

Creating sustainable communities to house people who have experienced chronic homelessness.

Billy William Fund

In 2022 we launched the Billy William Fund to continue expanding our programs to end homelessness, a person at a time. This fund has been developed by CGQ’s Board Directors, Peter Pearce, in loving memory of his brother, Billy, who struggled with homelessness. 

“Stories like Billy’s are the reason organisations like CGQ exist and provide such a vital service to our communities. While Billy is no longer within reach of our assistance, the CGQ Billy William Fund for Ending Homelessness will make it possible to help others who share his story.” Peter Pearce, CGQ Director.

As we look towards the future, your support can go a long way in helping us achieve our goal.

Become a Volunteer

Common Ground Queensland welcomes the participation of volunteers in achieving our mission to end homelessness. 

Opportunities for volunteering are limited but can include participation in fundraising collections and events.
