Give where you live – create lasting local impact in the areas that matter most.
Every dollar donated to Border Trust stays 100% local, supporting charitable initiatives that strengthen communities across the Border region.
As the region’s Community Foundation, we invite individuals, families, businesses, and organisations to contribute to a Community Impact Fund dedicated to meeting local needs—now and for generations to come. Donations are retained as capital and invested, with interest and earnings used to fund community grants, ensuring that what you give today continues to make a difference well into the future.
No matter the size, your donation helps change lives right here at home.
Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference”.

Border Trust brings together the generosity of donors with the passion and creativity of local community groups and not-for-profit organisations. Through our Granting Programs, we fund initiatives that strengthen our region, creating lasting positive change.
Through the power of collective giving, we’re building a generous, connected, and resilient community.
Since 2005, thanks to the support of our donors, Border Trust has distributed over $5 million to local projects enhancing our community and making our region a more connected and inclusive place for everyone. See our Summary of Granting – 2005 – 2024.
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.
