Shelterbox Australia

About

ShelterBox Australia is an international humanitarian organization that provides emergency shelter and tools to families who have lost their homes due to disaster, conflict, and extreme weather. Founded to ensure no family goes without shelter after disaster, they work in neglected crises worldwide, including places other organizations often avoid. Their mission is to transform despair into hope by enabling affected families to rebuild their lives and resume their livelihoods.

Giving Philosophy

ShelterBox Australia provides direct emergency shelter assistance to disaster-affected families, focusing on places that receive little media attention or international support. They prioritize working in neglected crisis zones and communities that others overlook, supporting families to take the next step in resuming their livelihoods. Their approach emphasizes reaching the most vulnerable, particularly women and girls who comprise over half of the world's displaced populations.

Tips for Applicants

As an international humanitarian organization that deploys its own programs rather than providing grants to external NGOs, direct application to ShelterBox Australia for funding is not applicable. Organizations seeking partnership should demonstrate capacity for emergency shelter implementation in hard-to-reach contexts and alignment with their focus on neglected crises.
