Give500 – Collective Giving Grant Program

Border Trust’s Give500 grant program is funded locally by the  Give500 Collective Giving Campaign.

Give500 was established to engage donors who want to see positive change within our community and to let them experience first-hand the benefits of collective giving.  The campaign encourages locals to get involved through an accessible process and invites donors to hear from and cast their votes for winners, from a short list of grant applicants.

The Give500 Grant Program opens in July each year. Border Trust will invite grant applications from not-for-profit, community organisations for projects seeking to support our local communities.

Applications to the Give500 Grant will be shortlisted to three outstanding projects by the Give500 Committee, with the successful grant recipients to be voted for by Give500 donors at the annual Pitch Night held in November.
