Photo journal

We’re excited to open applications for our 2026 community customer grants.

Since launching our community customer grants in 2016, we’ve supported 160 organisations with more than $2.28 million in funding. This year marks our 10th year, and we’re proud to continue backing community organisations that make a positive difference.

If your organisation opened an account with us before 30 June 2025 and is creating meaningful impact in the focus areas, you can apply for a grant of up to $25,000 to help scale your work and strengthen your community.

We keep the process simple. Check eligibility and apply now. Our grants program aims to back organisations working for people and the planet, to help build a future where communities thrive.
