Revenue and Expenditure
Our financial decisions reflect our values and priorities.
Every financial choice we make is guided by our mission to help those in need and ensure that our resources are used with integrity and purpose.

We believe transparency is key to trust.
These simple pie charts offer a clear view of how we generate and use our funds.
It’s our way of communicating openly with our members, donors, stakeholders, and the public—and of showing that we serve our community with integrity and accountability.

Understanding Our Income and Expenses
Our Income
Our income comes from a variety of sources, reflecting both community generosity and government support. This ensures we can deliver vital services to those who need them most.
- Government Grants: Funding from both the Commonwealth and Northern Territory Governments, which supports specific programs such as homelessness services, housing, emergency relief and aged care support.
- Donations and Bequests: Registered by the ATO as a “Deductible Gift Recipient” Charity Organisation, meaning any donation over $2 is TAX deductible, all donations assist the many activities undertaken by the Society. A bequest to the Society makes lasting positive change as you to create a legacy of love and care beyond your own lifetime.
- Fundraising Activities: Proceeds from events (like the CEO Sleepout) and seasonal campaigns (like the Christmas Appeal) raise awareness and funds for critical programs. 100% of funds raised from appeals go towards the program or service described in the appeal.
- Retail Operations: Income from sales in our Vinnies shops, which both funds our programs and provides affordable goods to the community.
- Investment Income: Earnings from interest and dividends on investments.
- Other Income: Includes rental income from our social housing and hostel properties, reimbursements, and miscellaneous program-related receipts and other donations that do not fit into the other categories above.
Our Expenses
We strive to ensure that the maximum possible proportion of our expenditure is directed to programs and services that directly benefit the community and our companions.
- Program Services: The largest portion of our expenses covers the delivery of homelessness support, emergency relief, community housing, and aged care programs.
- Retail Operations: Costs associated with running our Vinnies shops, including staffing, property expenses, and logistics.
- Administration & Operations: Essential costs to ensure sound governance and organisational sustainability, including salaries for administrative staff, office costs, council and housing board costs, training, data and software licences, insurance and utilities.
- Finance, Consulting & Miscellaneous: Includes consulting fees, finance costs, and other minor administrative costs that support the overall functioning of the Society.
