FOREVER 500

$500 for Shepparton. Half for now. Half forever.

What if you could make one simple gift that changes lives today while also building a brighter, stronger tomorrow for Greater Shepparton?

That’s exactly what the Forever 500 Campaign is all about.

When you join, you’re not just donating—you’re stepping into a movement of locals who believe in our community, back our people, and want to see Shepparton thrive well into the future.

How it Works (and why it’s genius!)

Your $500 gift does two powerful things at once:

$250 goes straight to work now — pooled together with other Forever 500 donors to fund grassroots community projects that make an immediate impact. Think youth programs, family wellbeing, grassroots solutions, and quick responses to emerging needs.
$250 is invested for tomorrow — growing a permanent Forever Fund that will keep on giving, year after year, generation after generation.

One gift. Two impacts. That’s the power of Forever 500.

And if $500 upfront feels like a stretch? No stress—you can chip in with $50 a month for 10 months. Easy!

Why Join?

Because it’s fun, meaningful, and you’ll feel the difference you’re making.

Here’s what you get as part of Forever 500:

A front-row seat to impact. Every year, you’ll get to hear from inspiring local projects and attend our Forever 500 Impact Forum —and you’ll help decide where the grant funds go. It’s democratic, transparent, and feels amazing to give to something you can see making a difference on the ground.
Connection. You’ll be part of a circle of locals who care deeply about the region. Together, we’re shaping Shepparton’s future.
Legacy. With half your gift invested in the Forever Fund, you’re planting seeds for a stronger, more resilient community that will keep giving back for decades to come.
Recognition. You’ll be celebrated as part of something special. Stick with us for five years or more and you will join a crew of champions who keep Shepparton strong.

Why Now?

Because the needs are real. Right now, in Shepparton, too many families are struggling, too many young people are at risk of being left behind, and too many brilliant community ideas never see the light of day because they lack funding.

At the same time, we know the future isn’t going to build itself. If we want Shepparton to be thriving in 10, 20, 50 years—it’s on us to make it happen.

Forever 500 is your chance to do both: meet urgent needs now while laying the foundation for tomorrow.

Imagine the Impact by 2030

By working together, here’s what Forever 500 aims to have achieved in just 5 years:

$200,000 invested in grassroots projects, making Shepparton fairer, stronger, and more connected.
$200,000 secured in the Forever Fund, growing year after year to support future generations.
A community of hundreds of locals, united by generosity, pride, and the belief that Shepparton deserves the very best.

That’s powerful. That’s lasting. That’s Forever 500.
