About the campaign
The Property Industry Foundation brings together the property and construction industry in a unique collaboration to have a tangible impact on youth homelessness. Haven House South Dowling in Sydney is the Foundation's largest development. In partnership with The Salvation Army, the Haven House South Dowling Campaign sought to raise $7.5 million to provide 19 new bedrooms for at risk young people to help them move towards independent living.
The results
The capital campaign achieved it initial target thanks to strong corporate support including a lead philanthropic gift of $1.5 million from the Goodman Foundation. This was underpinned by, building partners Robets Co as well as some $1 million more in pro-bono support from the construction and property industry. These extraordinary philanthropic gifts were supported by a $3m cornerstone investment by the government of New South Wales.
