Supporting homeless and vulnerable Victorians since 2007

The Peter & Lyndy White Foundation is a Private Ancillary Fund

The Peter & Lyndy White Foundation Pty Ltd was formed in August 2005 to act as Trustee for the Peter & Lyndy White Foundation. It received endorsement as a tax concession charity 17.02.06 effective 1.10.05. Whilst the Peter and Lyndy Foundation have supported many worthwhile causes, we have changed our mission to be supportive of those at risk of homelessness, driven by a strong social conscience and the belief that a country as fortunate as Australia should not have an affordable housing and homelessness problem.

Our impact

Our grants committed to since 2005 total over $105m

Our contributions to joint projects will provide housing for over 750 people

Featured story

Because I got this home, and where it’s located I can pick up more shifts at work. I know I am coming home to somewhere that’s mine, that my stuff is not going to get stolen while I’m out. It’s private and quiet, that’s what I really wanted more than anything.
