Jellis Craig has donated $25,000 to A Home For All Foundation to aid individuals facing homelessness due to domestic and family violence. This contribution occurs during the inaugural Jellis Craig Foundation month, which aims to raise $100,000 for various charity partners.

Why it matters

The donation helps address the critical issue of homelessness in Australia, where approximately 122,000 people are without a home on any given night. Support for organisations like A Home For All is essential for addressing the needs of those facing housing instability often caused by domestic and family violence.

Jellis Craig has raised more than $4 million through its foundation since 2013, with funds generated by contributions from every property sold. The initiative supports partners including the Lighthouse Foundation, The Big Umbrella, LifeChanger Foundation, and McAuley Community Services for Women.

The players

Jellis Craig

An Australian real estate network that established its own charitable foundation in 2013 to support community organisations.

A Home For All Foundation

A charitable organisation that hosts the A Night Without Home fundraiser to support people experiencing homelessness.

The details

Jellis Craig supports A Home For All, which organises the annual A Night Without Home fundraiser where participants sleep in cars or on couches to highlight the reality that 94% of people experiencing homelessness do not sleep rough. A Home For All has raised over $800,000 of its $1 million target for 2026 as of October.

Timeline

  1. 2013: The Jellis Craig Foundation was established.

  2. 2021: Census date for national homelessness statistics.

  3. October 2025: A Home For All inaugural campaign raised $1 million.

  4. October 2026: Jellis Craig holds its inaugural foundation month.

Market Landscape

Corporate philanthropy in the real estate sector increasingly mirrors the 2021 Census homelessness figures by creating direct funding links between property sales and social services. This initiative positions Jellis Craig within a competitive landscape where major firms are formalising long-term charity partnerships to demonstrate social responsibility.

Customers who choose to sell property through the Jellis Craig network directly contribute to the $4 million total raised for community partners since 2013. This allows homeowners to support local homelessness services through their standard real estate transactions.

The takeaway

Supporting foundations that target the hidden nature of homelessness helps address the reality that most affected individuals are not sleeping on the street. Residents can participate in local awareness campaigns like A Night Without Home to better understand housing instability in their communities.
