The Direct Giving Program delivers targeted, practical financial relief to people experiencing immediate hardship across Australia. We work in close partnership with health professionals and community organisations to ensure support reaches those who need it most. 

Applications for up to $2,500 can be submitted by eligible representatives and, if approved, we fund the goods or services requested in the application via payment directly to the relevant supplier.

They focus on urgent, essential needs that maintain safety, security, and wellbeing. Typical requests include:

• Utility bills
• White goods
• Furniture
• Accessibility equipment
• Educational equipment
• Minor health-related expenses

They may consider the following in exceptional circumstances:

• Rent assistance
• Accommodation for medical treatment
• Removalist costs
• Storage fees
• Forensic cleans
• Vehicle expenses

Each week applications are open from Thursdays at 09:30 (Sydney time) and close Tuesdays at 12:00 (Sydney time).

The funder partners with trusted social workers, case managers or allied health professionals working in public health or registered organisations in community support settings. The program has two streams with specific eligibility for applicants:

1. Public Hospital and Health Setting Stream:

Public hospitals and community-based public health services across Australia are eligible and do not need to register with the funder before applying.

2. Community and Charity Stream:

The funder partners with community-based charities that can provide ongoing support to their clients. Your organisation is eligible if it:

1. Provides ongoing case management and support to clients,

2. Is an ACNC-registered charity with DGR Item 1 status.
   If your organisation hasn't partnered with the funder before, please email info@hallfoundation.org.au to request registration.
