Prepare to unleash your creativity because Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast is presenting an exciting opportunity to make a mark on the Sunshine Coast.

Starting from 1 July, the bank will be accepting annual sponsorship applications.

Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast offers sponsorships to local organisations, enabling them to carry out valuable activities that contribute to the growth and unity of our community.

The sponsorships are made possible by reinvesting up to 80 per cent of our profits back into the communities we serve. In the previous financial year, sponsorships ranged from $500,000 to $1000.

Additionally, branch managers have the ability to spread joy in their communities by providing Fairy Dust funding of up to $1000 at their discretion. To date, the Bendigo Community Banks of Tewantin-Noosa, Cooroy, and Marcoola have given back over $2.9 million through the Profit With Purpose model.

Recent initiatives have been truly remarkable. They have extended financial support to local groups and events such as the Sunny Coast Showdown, Noosa Alive, Peregian Digital Hub Meet Up events, Permaculture Noosa’s Community Pavilion, Noosa Community Gardens’ pathways, and the upcoming Pomona King of the Mountain.

By nurturing community spirit and fostering connections among people of all ages and abilities, these endeavours exemplify the profound impact of community sponsorship.

Moreover, they play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of lives by providing essential funding for training and equipment to nearly all Surf Lifesaving Clubs from Noosa to Mudjimba.

The Noosa Coast Guard, an unwavering protector of community safety on the water 24/7, experienced immense relief when the Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast stepped in as the major sponsor. Through a three-year commitment to support this indispensable service, the bank has demonstrated its unwavering dedication to preserving the well-being of the community.

However, it’s important to remember that involvement extends beyond financial assistance. They strive to build enduring partnerships. Bendigo Community Bank Sunshine Coast invests in projects that align with core values of community, sustainability, and inclusivity. So, as you prepare your application, allow your passion to shine through. Demonstrate how your project resonates with the bank’s vision of a brighter, more interconnected community.
