HouseOfPower Charity Trust

Board Interlocks (2 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

House of Power believes no one should go without basic necessities and focuses on treating beneficiaries with dignity, care, and respect. Their approach centres on practical, discreet assistance that avoids visible handouts—recipients use QR-coded cards at vending machines rather than traditional food bank pickups. They prioritise local community impact by partnering with independent grocers, ensuring support remains within the community. The organisation claims 95% of every dollar spent goes directly to providing food and household items, with a goal of organic growth through word-of-mouth and scalable expansion to neighbouring towns.

Tips for Applicants

This is a small, community-focused charity operating primarily in regional South Australia. Applications are made via an online 'Register Your Interest' form on their website. The process involves evaluation by a Support Coordinator to assess immediate needs before approval. Given they work exclusively with local partner grocery stores, expandability depends on finding new local business partners. If you're applying, emphasise genuine need and location in their operational areas. Their model is designed for privacy and dignity—applicants should understand this is discrete support without visible charity hand-outs.
