WAYS YOU CAN help
The work we do would not be possible without the ongoing support and generosity of our existing corporate supporters and the kindness of the general public.
​
There are many things you can do to assist women experiencing domestic abuse, here are some of the ways you can get involved with Safe Haven Community:
regular or one off donations
Direct donations are so important to the service and support we provide. We have a regular campaign called Fiver 4 a Survivor - This is where you pledge to donate $5.00 per week which is $260.00 per year. This amount is a tax deduction. Many of us have commitments that mean we're too busy to help in other ways. Make a one-off donation or become a monthly donor and help women escaping abusive relationships. You only have to give up a coffee a week to Donate Now
Follow us on social media
We keep in touch with our supporters and women using our service through popular social media channels. You can support by following us, liking our pages and posts below:
Facebook fundraising
Organise to raise funds on your next birthday through Facebook Fundraising. Create a post on your Facebook page and tell your friends you're raising funds for your birthday. Add a "Donate" button to your post and make sure you choose Safe Haven Community from the list of charities.
payroll giving
Payroll giving is a simple and tax effective way for employees to make regular ongoing donations to help women at risk of homelessness due to domestic violence. Donations are automatically deducted from pre-tax pay so taxable income is reduced and employees pay tax on this lower amount. This means they receive the tax benefit every month, without the need for receipts or waiting until the end of the financial year to claim.
Payroll giving is a form of workplace giving that is easy for employers to set-up and is low on costs and administration resources. A payroll giving program helps strengthen employee recruitment, loyalty and retention by increasing engagement, boosting staff morale.

Tell your workplace owners or managers to check out the Benevity platform. It makes workplace giving easy for everyone.
Staff Fundraising
We can help build a program of engaging fundraising activities to motivate employees or we can support a staff team to take part in fundraising events such as major fun runs or other team challenges that can bring significant awareness to your company brand.
YOUR NEXT EVENT, CONFERENCE OR SEMINAR
Most organisations have a conference for staff and professional development throughout the year. We kindly ask that you consider having Safe Haven Community as your Charity of Choice at the event. This might mean that you contribute a percentage of entry revenue to our charity. You might hold a raffle on the day using donated prizes. We can have a stand and hand out information on our service and achievements. In addition to helping with important funding, nominating and supporting a charity of choice, raises awareness, encourages involvement, builds relationship, and demonstrates your organisation's commitment to social responsibility.
donate your quality women's clothing
Safe Haven Emporiums sell pre-loved women's clothing at our two stores in Hope Island and Loganholme. The clothing - quality name brands in good condition, is donated and the proceeds help fund our services. The stores are the perfect outlet and equipped to allow women in need to access our services and to approach us with confidence.
corporate support
Many organisations have a Corporate Social Responsibility model (CSR) that has a degree of responsibility not only for the economic consequences of their activities, but also for social and environmental implications. These organisations care about the community as a whole. They give employees leave to volunteer, have employee giving programs and often match dollar for dollar when employees donate to a registered charity.
