Community Bank Parkdale
Community Grants & Sponsorships Program
At Community Bank Parkdale, we believe banking should do more than just banking.
When you bank with us, you’re helping create profits that are reinvested back into our local community — supporting the clubs, schools, groups and organisations that make Parkdale, Mentone, Mordialloc and our surrounding communities such great places to live.
Through our Community Grants, Sponsorships & Scholarship Program, we’re proud to support local ideas, projects and initiatives that make a real difference.
What we’re looking to support
We love backing great community groups doing great things!
Funding may be available for projects and initiatives that:
- Make a positive difference in our local community
- Support community participation, wellbeing and connection
- Help local clubs and organisations grow and thrive
- Create opportunities for people of all ages
- Deliver lasting benefits to our community
- Build meaningful partnerships with Community Bank Parkdale
Because when our community thrives, we all do.
