Border Trust exists to turn local generosity into lasting community impact.
By funding local programs, projects, infrastructure, and resources, and by connecting people and organisations, we build skills, capacity, and resilience. This approach empowers communities to deliver their own solutions to local challenges—whether in equity, wellbeing, disaster preparedness, or climate resilience—so that together we create a thriving, connected, and inclusive region.
