Welcome Kotzur — our newest Foundation Builder!

We are thrilled to welcome Kotzur as our newest Foundation Builder.

A highly successful, multi-generational business established in Walla Walla (Greater Hume LGA), Kotzur has grown to become a major local employer and trusted provider to clients across Australia and internationally. Despite this national footprint, Kotzur remains deeply connected as a regional business and is backing the community that has backed it for generations, by supporting Border Trust.

Foundation Builders support the ongoing work of Border Trust to identify local needs, activate community giving, and fund initiatives that deliver long-lasting impact across the Border region.

Sue Gold, Executive Officer at Border Trust, said Kotzur’s commitment reflects the power of locally driven philanthropy.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Kotzur as a Foundation Builder. Their support helps ensure Border Trust can continue to respond to the most pressing issues in our region, whether that’s supporting young people, multicultural settlement, tackling disadvantage, improving mental health, or responding to crises.

It’s inspiring to see a regionally based business like Kotzur investing back into the communities they’ve long been part of. Their contribution enables Border Trust to keep doing what we do best: driving locally informed, community-led solutions to the challenges that matter most across our region.”

As a Foundation Builder, Kotzur joins a collective of like-minded businesses and individuals who are driving meaningful change through strategic philanthropy. The program recognises partners who contribute to support Border Trust’s mission and community-based grant making.

Andrew Kotzur, Managing Director of Kotzur, said the company was proud to formalise its support for Border Trust in a way that reflects its values and vision.

“As a regional business with deep roots in the local community, we see the value in backing organisations that understand our region and are committed to building its future.

We’ve seen the work Border Trust is doing and we’re proud to join them in supporting causes that matter to our people, our neighbours, and our region as a whole.”

Kotzur’s decision to join Border Trust as a Foundation Builder reflects a shared commitment to creating stronger, more connected communities. This partnership brings together aligned values and a long-term vision for the Border region, helping to ensure that local giving continues to drive meaningful outcomes and lasting impact where it’s needed most.
