Giving Philosophy

BASP maintains a small, independent operational model to remain responsive, flexible, and people-focused. It assesses each request individually, prioritizing those with the greatest need and least available support. The organization values compassion, respect, and dignity, choosing relational support over case management while maintaining honesty about resource limitations.

Wealth Source:The trust operates as a charitable organization funded primarily through donations from the community, parishes, and supporters. It is connected to the Brigidine Sisters (a Catholic religious congregation), which provides institutional backing and access to volunteer networks.

Tips for Applicants

Given the small scale and specific focus on asylum seekers in Victoria, applicants should demonstrate alignment with their mission of supporting vulnerable individuals with no income or work rights. Applications should emphasize practical, person-centered approaches and show how the request aligns with their core services: housing assistance, emergency relief, employment support, or legal/community connections.

Notable Grants

  • $66,000 from State Government through NASAVic Housing Network for emergency housing
