Dignity First Fund 2019

Dignity First Fund (DFF) aims to prevent and reduce homelessness and assist people experiencing homelessness to live with dignity.

This funding round is seeking applications for innovative services that address the unmet needs of Queenslanders experiencing homelessness. There is no specified category of funding for applicants to address, however, a funding limit of $150,000 (GST exclusive) per proposal applies. If the value of the proposal exceeds the amount the applicant is seeking, the applicant must demonstrate that they have additional funding support or in-kind contributions from sources other than the DFF funding to support the proposal, or a fully costed proposal that details reasons for the project requiring more than $150,000.
