Give to Your Community

For the Border region – today, tomorrow, forever

Supporting our community today is vital, but planning for tomorrow is equally important. The Border Trust Community Impact Fund is a dedicated endowment that allows us to support the Border region’s needs both today and for the future. By growing this fund to $20 million, we can provide the resources needed for urgent support, sustained programs, and long-term resilience.

Are you ready to give where you live?
By donating to Border Trust, you join a network of generous and engaged donors who are creating positive impact.

Since 2005, Border Trust granting programs have distributed more than $5 million to support local organisations to do vital work across the region.

Make your donation to our community grant pool and we will direct your donation to the areas of greatest need in the community.

Our Give500 Campaign harnesses the power of collective giving to fund projects that directly benefit communities across the Border region.

Local community members, families, groups and businesses are invited to become a Give500 donor by donating $500 to the Give500 program. Donated funds are pooled, with the size and value of the annual Give500 grant pool determined by the number of donations made.

A charitable bequest could be the most important gift you ever make.

When everyday people leave a gift in their Will—whether large or small—it creates a ripple effect that benefits local communities for generations. After taking care of your loved ones, even 1% of your estate left to Border Trust can make a meaningful difference in the community you cherish.

A bequest allows your values and commitment to creating positive change in your local community to live on, supporting local projects that address urgent needs and create lasting impact.

Leave a legacy that benefits your community for future generations.

A Named Sub-Fund

is a great way to involve family members or whole organisations in a meaningful and fulfilling giving experience. Donations can be made to Named Sub-Funds at any time by the original donor, or by family members, friends or others. All donations are fully tax deductible, and we manage all governance for you.

A Named Sub-Fund allows you to recommend the preferred charities or causes in the Albury Wodonga Region that you wish to support.  Creating a Named Sub-Fund gives you the chance to provide community assistance at grassroots and personal level.

Establishing a Named Sub-Fund in perpetuity with Border Trust is simple. Starting from $2,000 your fund can grant to local community organisations once it builds to $20,000.  We’ll work with you along the way.

Holding a fundraiser for 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.

Are you a philanthropic or government organisation needing support to distribute grants into the Border community? Are you an enterprise with a social conscience?

We have a 20-year history of delivering grants for our community partners, including the Scanlon Foundation, Emergency Recovery Victoria, FRRR Back to School, and many more.

We know the needs of our community, have well-established not-for-profit networks, and are highly experienced in working to distribute funds to the community when and where they’re needed most.
