Posted 24 January 2024

Community Bank Epping exists on a principle of ‘shared value’. This means that a substantial amount of all profits from our branch is returned to the Epping district through community grants and sponsorship.

We want to help our community grow and thrive – through supporting local schools and community sport, assisting family and youth charities in vital work, contributing to capital works that provide more community facilities, and sponsoring local events that bring our community together.

In 2023, we supported a record number of projects. 35 activities from Eastwood to Beecroft, Carlingford to Marsfield. A bumper year of funding brought the total amount given back to the community since we were founded in 2003 to over $2 million.

Apply now for 2024 community grants

This year, our grants program will be available in a number of ’rounds’. The first tranche of funding is now available and applications can be made up to 29 February 2024. There are some important eligibility criteria:

  • Funding can only be given to organisations – not individuals
  • It is available for non-for-profit organisations and charities
  • Grants must assist Epping and nearby suburbs
  • Funding is not guaranteed so early applications are encouraged

To find out more about the process and eligibility, please read the Community Funding Guidelines. All applications must be made online through the link below. If you have questions or need assistance, please email eppingcbgrants@gmail.com
