Community customer grants
Our community customer grants are for our community customers who are creating change in areas that are important to our customers, such as climate action, affordable and accessible housing, nature and biodiversity, and First Nations Recognition and Respect. In 2025, community customers have the opportunity to apply for grants up to $20,000.
Our grant program is open to community customers who have held a Bank Australia account from 30 June 2024 (or earlier) to apply. 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 June 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 mid June.

Frequently asked questions
What are the eligibility criteria?
Our grant program is for community customers who have held a Bank Australia account from 30 June 2024 (or earlier) to apply. For example, customers who open a Bank Australia product on or before 30 June 2024 can apply for a 2025 grant.
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.
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 the 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.
