2026 Vinnies CEO Sleepout

The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is a high-profile annual fundraising event held on one of the longest and coldest nights of the year. Senior business and community leaders are invited to sleep out and raise money to support our services, which assist Victorians experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty.

Our goal is to raise $1.75m and to promote the message that when it comes to poverty and homelessness we need to #See it. Solve it.

While this campaign is focused on engaging executive leaders to fundraise and advocate, it’s important to focus on what we can all do to make this event a great success. The money and awareness raised at this event is to make positive changes to the lives of Victoria’s most vulnerable people.

How you can help:

• Nominate participants: Have a think about senior executives in your immediate and extended network and invite them to participate. Often, those closest to the St Vincent de Paul Society are most inclined to lend their support. Direct them to the official ceosleepout.org.au website to register.

• Fundraise: Do you and your colleagues have an idea for a fundraiser? Fundraising initiatives within your organisation are encouraged and the proceeds can be donated to the CEO Sleepout participant to bolster their total and assists the people we assist.

• Promote your CEO's campaign: Spread the word that your CEO is participating by sharing their link via your social media networks. This helps to raise awareness as well as donations to a good cause.
