Strong communities don’t happen by chance. They’re built by people, businesses and organisations who are willing to invest in the places they call home.

At PRD Albury-Wodonga, giving back to our community has always been an important part of who we are. Through our Caring for Our Community campaign, we support local initiatives that create meaningful and lasting impact across the Border region.

As part of this campaign, PRD Albury-Wodonga donates $250 from every property settlement completed during the campaign period to a local organisation. This quarter, we’re proud to support Give500 as our nominated beneficiary. It’s our way of ensuring that every success we celebrate as a business contributes to positive outcomes for our broader community.

Give500, an initiative of Border Trust, is a powerful example of collective giving in action. By bringing together individuals, families and businesses who each contribute to a shared fund, Give500 helps support local projects that address real community needs. From improving wellbeing and inclusion to supporting grassroots initiatives, the program demonstrates how small contributions can combine to create significant change.

Recently, we had the opportunity to support Border Trust’s Big Day Out and gain a deeper understanding of the work being undertaken by local organisations and community leaders. It was a timely reminder that some of the most important work in our region is often carried out by passionate people working behind the scenes to create opportunities and improve lives.

Through initiatives like Give500, local people can pool their resources to support projects that address real community needs. It’s a simple but powerful model that demonstrates how collective giving can create lasting impact across our region.
While we’re proud to play our part through our Caring for Our Community campaign, creating positive change is something we can all be involved in.

If you’re inspired to get involved, Sunshine Trust’s Community Sponsor Program is another great way to support our local community. By becoming a Community Sponsor with a contribution of $250, individuals and businesses join a network of people committed to creating opportunities and supporting initiatives that make our region a better place to live, work and grow.

Whether supporting Give500, becoming a Sunshine Trust Community Sponsor, volunteering your time or contributing to local fundraising efforts, every act of generosity helps build a stronger and more connected community.

Together, we can create lasting impact where it matters most—right here at home.
