Border Trust connects the generosity of donors with the ideas and creativity of our community groups and not-for-profit organisations, by funding projects and initiatives through our Granting Programs, that build our community’s capacity and creates positive change, now and into the future. We are building a generous, connected, resilient community.
We activate the power of giving for lasting impact across our region.
Since 2005, Border Trust, thanks to our generous donors, has distributed over $4.4 million to local projects and initiatives enhancing our community and making our region a more connected and inclusive place for everyone.
Our focus is:
Local: Border Trust is 100% place-based and focused on building community capacity in the border region. We take an evidence-based approach, and we understand our communities, businesses and landscapes, as well as what they need to reach their potential.
Generous: Border Trust activates and celebrates a culture of giving and generosity across the Border region. We are inspired by the kindness, care and altruism that motivates the gifts of time, money, energy and ideas that make our region a better place for everyone.
Connected: Border Trust creates the connections that drive and sustain positive change. We are the conduit that links the possibility provided by our donors and philanthropic partners, with the practice of grassroots change provided by our grant recipients.
