Building and managing the fund
Your contributions enable us to build and grow the resources necessary to support charitable initiatives across our community.
Meeting compliance costs
Operating as a responsible and transparent organisation requires us to adhere to various legal and regulatory requirements. Your support helps us cover these compliance costs efficiently.
Promoting the Foundation
By supporting our marketing efforts, you help us raise awareness about Border Trust and the impactful work we do, encouraging more community members to get involved and increase our local impact.
Coordinating the annual grant round
Each year, we facilitate a grant round where charitable organisations can apply for funding. Your contributions ensure the smooth coordination and execution of this process, maximizing the impact of every grant awarded.
Join Give500
Give500 is our annual collective giving campaign, making it easy for anyone to get involved in supporting others in our community.
You can make your $500 donation as an individual or a group. Give500 is a great way to get your workplace, social group or sporting club together to give back to the community.
Hume Bank Safer Communities Fund
Hume Bank launched the Safer Communities Fund to support efforts against domestic and family violence, contributing $50,000 to frontline services in the region.
Partnering with Border Trust, the fund will be managed to ensure effective distribution of grants to organizations across multiple local government areas, with a focus on addressing community needs.
Fundraise for us
Help contribute to our ongoing operations by holding a fundraiser with your social or sporting club or through workplace giving…there are so many ways to help!
Holding a fundraiser on behalf of Border Trust not only raises essential funds but also builds awareness and strengthens community support.
Whether it’s a gold coin donation around the office, a sausage sizzle or bake sale, another creative idea, we’ll provide the resources and materials to make it a success.
Establish a Named Sub Fund
Setting up a charitable giving fund in your name (officially called a Named Sub-Fund) is a great way to involve family members or whole organisations in supporting our community today and into the future.
Maybe you’ve recently received an inheritance, sold a business or property and want to give back to the community instead of to the tax office. Businesses can also set up a Named Sub-Fund to create a culture of workplace giving and local philanthropy.
With a Named Sub-Fund, you recommend the preferred charities or causes in the Albury Wodonga region that you wish to support, providing community assistance at grassroots and personal levels.
All donations are fully tax-deductible, and we manage all governance for you.
Leave a gift in your Will
After providing for family and friends in your Will, you may wish to consider setting aside funds to provide financial support for local community organisations or causes you care about.
Leaving a gift to your community through Border Trust is a convenient and effective way of implementing your wishes and associating your family name with the causes you care about.
When you leave a gift in your Will, you’re in complete control of how your bequest is distributed and how the funds are used.
