Who we support

Border Trust is the Community Foundation for the Local Government Areas of Albury, Federation, Greater Hume, Indigo, Towong and Wodonga.

Grants are provided annually to fund projects and programs for the benefit of these communities. The Trust has been providing grants to community and not-for-profit organisations in the region since 2005.

The key priority of Border Trust is to support programs and projects that have been identified by organisations to address current issues and challenges in the broader region and impact positively upon the lives of the people within our community.

Border Trust will prioritise funding where the need is the greatest and where strategic solutions have been developed.
