The Big Give Annual Showcase – 2024
The Big Give is our feelgood night of the year, highlighting the generosity of local donors and partners and announcing community grant recipients.
In 2024, over $846,000 in community grants was awarded to support 40 community initiatives across the six LGAs of Albury, Wodonga, Indigo, Federation, Towong and Greater Hume. The grants provided will support many charitable projects aimed at addressing community equity, connection and wellbeing across the Border region.
The Big Give demonstrates the power of local donations in bringing life-changing ideas and innovations to reality. It showcases the incredible spirit of locals caring for locals and working together to build a stronger, more connected community.
