GROW Myrtleford+ is a locally-advised community fund which supports meaningful causes, working with existing projects and organisations to benefit the community.
We invest in the community through grant-giving, encourage growth to create a vibrant and exciting Myrtleford and its surrounding communities, now and into the future.
The GROW Myrtleford+ Fund was established through a generous donation from a local Myrtleford family, who wanted to give back to the community they love.
The community responded by creating an advisory committee of local people to oversee the fund and help GROW its potential.
Launching with a charity cattle sale in partnership with Nutrient Ivone Agencies, the event was a great success through donations from local famers back in December 2021.
GROW Myrtleford+ has since been able to build on this success through additional donations, fund-raising activities and grants to greatly benefit our local community today.
Donations over $2 are tax-deductible. As a sub-fund of Into Our Hands Community Foundation, GROW Myrtleford+ can receive donations of cash, property and shares.
Grow Myrtleford+ has launched its 2025 End of Financial Year (EOFY) Challenge, aiming to raise $25,000 by 30 June to support community-led projects across Myrtleford and surrounding areas.
As a sub-fund of Into Our Hands Community Foundation, Grow Myrtleford+ works to ensure that local ideas get the support they need to thrive. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and every dollar stays in the region—directly funding initiatives that strengthen the local community.
In the past year alone, Grow Myrtleford+ has funded a wide variety of grassroots projects. These include upgraded lighting for the Myrtleford SES unit, native revegetation and weed control along Barwidgee Creek, support for local groups such as the Toy Library and Bowls Club, and essential infrastructure repairs at the Ovens Valley Canine Club.
The sub-fund also delivered one of the region’s most popular community events—the Twilight Carols in the Myrtleford piazza—demonstrating the power of local giving to bring people together.
Funds raised through the 2025 EOFY Challenge will be used to support future projects across key areas including community facilities, environment, infrastructure, and events.
Grow Myrtleford+ is managed by local volunteers and supported by Into Our Hands Community Foundation. All funds are held in perpetuity for the benefit of the Myrtleford community.
