Tips for Applicants

Apply through their grant programs for community projects benefiting the Albury Wodonga Border region. Focus on clearly demonstrating local impact, community need, and how your project strengthens the local community. They have specific funds (Safer Communities Fund, Community Impact Fund) so align your project with the relevant fund's focus.

Giving Philosophy

Border Trust operates as a true community foundation, created by locals for locals. Every gift stays in the border region to support causes that matter most to the local community. The foundation values community-led initiatives that strengthen, safety and connect the Albury Wodonga region.
