Charities
We exist to help you to help those most in need...
We know that you know your beneficiaries best, so sign up and then you are best placed to apply for microgrants sourced by donations we receive.
100% of the donation will go directly to those most in need, through the charity that applies on behalf of the beneficiary in mind. You will then enable the money to get to the right individuals and families in their time of need.
Currently, applications for microgrants will be considered for individuals/families on a one-off basis. Applications from the same individual/family will not be considered if submitted within a six-month timeframe.
How it works

Our Charity Members

Perth Citizens Advice Bureau: Cash First Partnership
We believe in empowering our community by providing immediate short-term financial support when wait times are too long for other avenues, or when there's nowhere else to turn. We have partnered with one of our charities, Perth CAB, to widen our support in these instances. When things can't wait any longer, that's when The Squeeze steps in with donations we have received, all of which make a real, tangible difference. We also act as a community connector, signposting amongst our other charity members. The "Cash First" approach ensures that individuals and families facing financial hardships receive the help they need quickly and efficiently, and a sense of dignity and hope are restored.
