How does it work?

How it works

Step 1: Choose your pledge

Your pledge can be anything that suits your business. For example:

  • $1 from every coffee sold
  • 10% of September sales
  • $250 from every property settlement
  • Proceeds from a fundraising event
  • A once-off business donation

Whether your pledge runs for one day, one week or the whole month, every contribution helps build the Community Impact Fund.

Step 3: The community backs you

Throughout Local Giving Month, we’ll encourage the community to support participating businesses by shopping locally, dining locally and choosing businesses that are helping build our community’s future.

With the support of local media partners, radio, television, print and digital media, along with a dedicated social media campaign, we’ll be sharing business stories, promoting participating businesses and inviting the community to support those businesses wherever they can.

Step 2: Promote your pledge

We’ll provide campaign resources to help you promote your involvement throughout September.

Step 4: Donate your pledge

At the end of September, simply calculate the value of your pledge and donate those proceeds to Border Trust’s Community Impact Fund via the Local Giving Month donation platform or direct deposit by 30 September.
