Your suburb.
Local people, local projects. Each suburb has its own pot and its own page — the money raised by a suburb's members goes back into that suburb. Most people back where they live. But if somewhere nearby needs it more, you're free to send your $1 there instead.
The Emergency Fund
Coast-wide10% of every donation (after costs) is set aside, ready to help locals in genuine crisis — escaping family violence, single parents on the edge, disaster & homelessness relief.
How it worksPalm Beach
4221Where The Dollar Chain started. Our home base on the southern Gold Coast.
Burleigh Heads
4220Headland, beach, hinterland. Restoring all three.
Burleigh Waters
4220Quiet suburban streets, ageing population, gaps the council can't reach.
Miami
4220Pizzo Park to Nobby Beach. Local schools, surf clubs, single-parent households.
Mermaid Beach
4218Million-dollar postcodes next to people doing it tough. Closing the gap quietly.
Currumbin
4223Creek mouth to sanctuary. Wildlife, waterway, and the people who live alongside them.
Currumbin Waters
4223Family suburb, school catchments, the steady middle. Small lifts that go a long way.
Currumbin Valley
4223Hinterland properties, long driveways, isolation when things go wrong.
Elanora
4221Schools, shops, churches. The everyday infrastructure of the south coast.
Tugun
4224Tucked between Currumbin and the airport. Quiet, ageing, often overlooked.
Bilinga
4225Beachside strip on the southern fringe. Small, tight community.
Kirra
4225World-class point break, working-class housing right next to it.
Coolangatta
4225Border town. Hospitality workers, casual shifts, tight margins.
Tallebudgera
4228Creek, sports fields, family homes spread out over a wide valley.
Tallebudgera Valley
4228Acreage, rural roads, neighbours far apart. Helping each other across the distance.
