Community customer grants

2024 community customer grants

Applications for 2024 community customer grants are now closed and successful recipients will be announced in June.

Our community customer grants are for our community customers – organisations not individuals – who are creating change in areas that are important to our customers. Our grants program runs annually. In 2024, community customers had the opportunity to apply for grants up to $20,000.

Our grant program is for to community customers who have held a Bank Australia account for at least 1 year at 30 June every funding year. Applicants must be an organisation, such as a not-for-profit, community, school, volunteer or social enterprise with an ABN. Deductible gift recipient status is not required. Religious, political or commercial organisations are not eligible.

We’ll contact shortlisted applicants in early May for additional supporting documentation (such as profit and loss reports, balance sheets and statement of cash flow) to help us make final funding decisions. We intend to notify all unsuccessful recipients in early June.

Frequently asked questions

I am a personal customer of Bank Australia, but my employer is not a customer. Can my employer still apply for funding?

No. The organisation applying for funding needs to be a Bank Australia customer.

Can Bank Australia customers partner with other organisations to deliver a project?

Yes. The lead organisation on the project must be a Bank Australia customer, but that lead organisation is able to partner with other organisations (who may be customers or not).

Can I submit multiple applications for different projects at the same organisation?

No. Applicants can only submit one application per organisation each round.
