What is the Community Impact Fund?

The Community Impact Fund is Border Trust’s bold ambition to build our region’s most enduring community asset — a $20 million fund that delivers local grants year after year.

It’s more than a fund. It’s a promise:

• To respond to urgent needs.
• To support what matters most in our community.
• To build a resource that lasts generations.

We’re calling on local individuals, families, and businesses to help us build this fund — and shape the future of our region.

Why Give to the Community Impact Fund?

Since 2005, Border Trust has worked alongside our region’s most generous changemakers to fund grassroots solutions to our most pressing challenges — from homelessness and food insecurity to bushfire recovery and mental health.

With your support, the Community Impact Fund will:

• Fund current and future grant rounds for local charities and not-for-profits.
• Build a perpetual, sustainable fund to support our community now and into the future.
• Enable rapid response and long-term solutions when our community needs it most.

Together, we can create lasting local change.
