Host a DIY Hard Hat Fundraiser

Looking for a meaningful way to support homeless and at-risk youth? Organise a Hard Hat event of your choice at your workplace! This initiative allows you to create a fun, engaging event while raising funds for the Property Industry Foundation's Haven Projects.

How to Get Started

MAKE A PLAN

Where, when and how you hold your community event is up to you – Hard Hat runs all year, so you can choose the date to suit your organisation’s calendar.

SHARE

Once you’ve locked in your date, time and venue of choice, send out a ‘save the date’ note to your team.

FUNDRAISE

Just by putting on a bake sale, raffle or site barbecue, you’re funding more beds for homeless youth through The Haven Project.
