SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY AND DONATE
There are a number of ways to support:
– Establish a Named Fund
– Gifts in Memory Of
– Leave a Gift in Your Will
Every gift helps us support programs that improve local wellbeing, education, health access, and community resilience.
Your donation goes straight back into the Strathbogie Shire community, funding initiatives, such as youth wellbeing programs, community grants, and local capacity-building projects.
Establish a Named Fund
A Named Fund allows you to create a lasting legacy in an area of community life that matters most to you.
It can be established by individuals, families, businesses, clubs, or groups who wish to support a particular cause or geography within the Strathbogie Ranges.
WHAT IS A NAMED FUND?
It is a dedicated sub-fund within the Foundation that carries your chosen name and purpose. You contribute to it over time, and the Foundation invests the capital to generate ongoing returns that are granted to your nominated local priorities.
BENEFITS OF ESTABLISHING A NAMED FUND.
– Create a permanent legacy in your name or your family’s name
– Support causes you care deeply about (children’s wellbeing, environment, arts, education, health, community resilience, etc.)
– Flexible—start small and grow your fund over time
– Professionally managed investments through the Foundation
– Transparent annual reporting
– A Named Fund is an impactful way to give today while building a long-term resource for the community.
Honouring a loved one through a memorial gift is a meaningful way to celebrate their life while contributing to the wellbeing of the community they cherished.
Families and friends often choose to give:
– In lieu of flowers
– Annually on significant dates
– To support causes that reflect the person’s values and passions
– To create an ongoing memorial fund in their name
These gifts create a powerful and lasting legacy, helping local families, children, and community groups while preserving the memory of someone special.
Honouring a loved one through a memorial gift is a meaningful way to celebrate their life while contributing to the wellbeing of the community they cherished.
After taking care of your loved ones, you may choose to include a gift in your Will that supports the ongoing strength and resilience of the community you call home.
WHY LEAVE A GIFT
A bequest ensures your generosity continues to create impact long after today, supporting local programs, community resilience, children’s wellbeing, and long-term regional development.
We recommend speaking with your solicitor or financial adviser to include the appropriate wording in your Will.
Our team is also available to discuss how you can create a legacy aligned with your values.
If you’d like help, choosing the most meaningful way to give, we welcome a conversation.
Together, we can build a resilient, thriving future for the Strathbogie Shire.
