COMMUNITY CONNECTION + WELL BEING
A welcoming, connected and inclusive community provides the foundation for a vibrant region and positively impacts individual and community well-being.
COMMUNITY EQUITY
By helping those who help others, access to necessities like food, shelter, education, work, and healthcare enables all to participate in and contribute to a thriving region.
Generally, small grants of up to $5,000 will be considered. In exceptional circumstances, a grant of up to $10,000 may be considered following discussion with Border Trust. Organisations with, and without, DGR 1 status are eligible to apply.
