The remarkable contributions of 40 community organisations were celebrated at the Bendigo Bank sponsorship recognition evening, held at Noosa Springs Resort last Thursday.

Local Bendigo Bank branch managers and the board of Sunshine Coast Community Financial Services, which oversees the Tewantin, Marcoola, and Cooroy branches were in attendance.

These groups, part of the 70 organisations supported by the bank over the past financial year, are driving growth across the Sunshine Coast.

The event highlighted the tireless efforts of local organisations that enrich the lives of residents and strengthen the wellbeing of the region. Bendigo Bank proudly supports these initiatives, reinvesting in the community.

Through its profit-with-purpose model, Bendigo Bank channels up to 80 per cent of its profits back into local projects.

Since their inception, the Tewantin, Marcoola, and Cooroy branches have contributed nearly $5 million to the community.

Bendigo Bank isn’t just supporting financial goals; it’s fostering relationships and making a lasting impact.
