This Christmas give the gift that matters|Support Project Independence

Project Independence is an innovative housing model that creates pathways to homeownership for people with intellectual disabilities, empowering them to live independently while staying connected to a supportive community.

Our homes offer more than just a place to live—they provide opportunities for residents to experience the security and pride of homeownership, build confidence and friendships, and actively participate in the broader community.

Since its inception in 2014, Project Independence has continued to create opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to achieve homeownership and live fulfilling, independent lives, with new developments underway to meet growing demand.

This Christmas, your gift can help create the warmth, security and belonging that comes with having a place to call home. Every donation brings us closer to making home ownership possible for people with intellectual disability.

What we've done is create a model where people with intellectual disabilities can buy their own home out of their pension.

PI Resident

The Pathways course taught me: My strengths, about myself, different strategies for conflict resolution and keeping safe.

PI Resident

It has been a turning point for me. My confidence and sense of wellbeing have increased with the supportive environment and strong friendships made at PI. The opportunity of building equity in the property, towards home ownerships provides me a sense of security for the future.

Living at Project Independence has changed my life in a positive way because I know my future is safe here... It feels like a big family living here, they are all my second family.

Is this donation tax deductible?

Yes. Project Independence is a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), which means donations of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia. Once your donation is processed, you can request a receipt that can be used when preparing your tax return.

Is my donation secure?

Absolutely. The security and confidentiality of your information is our highest priority. We use industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology to protect your information and provide a safe and secure environment for online donations. We will not sell, trade or share your personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations, and we will only share personal information if you have given us specific permission to do so.

Where does my donation go?

We currently have 30 residents, across 3 properties in the ACT. With over 50 people with an intellectual disability still on our waiting list in Canberra, the need is still evident. We will continue to work to build more housing for people with an intellectual disability and look to support other minority groups in the near future.

Can I get involved in other ways?

Yes, absolutely! Aside from monetary donations, there are several ways to get involved: you can fundraise, attend one of our events, become a corporate sponsor, or volunteer.
