Bunyip branch launches grants program

BUNYIP and District’s Bendigo Community Bank Branch launched its community grants program on Wednesday 11 June 2014 to help improve community outcomes.
Community Bank chairman Marg Bardon said the program would help support local community groups and organisations by making funding available for projects.
“The program helps us to reinvest Bunyip and District Community Bank Branch profits back into the local community,” Marg said.
“Projects may be large or small and may also be carried out in collaboration with other groups or organisations at any level.”
The program is administered by Community Enterprise Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.
Applications are available online and are open for submission until Wednesday , 9 July 2014.
Priority will be given to organisations based in Bunyip and the surrounding districts.
“There are currently 291 Community Bank branches across Australia that have returned more than $80 million to support local communities,” Marg said.
“We encourage everyone to bring their ideas to the table, so we can really find out what our community needs.”
