A cornerstone of the Community Bank model is the sharing of profit with the community. With this in mind we invite community groups, to apply for community investment funding.
All categories of community groups are invited – sports and leisure, education, culture and the arts, health and social, children and youth, the elderly to name a few. And community investment can be applied for to support an upcoming event, activity or project that your organisation is planning.
Community investment proposals are open to organisations (not individuals) and are assessed on their capacity to benefit the community and to promote the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches.
Applicants must have an ABN or have a Project Partner who holds an ABN, and community investment cannot be provided retrospectively.
ACQUITTALS
ALL Community Groups that have received Community Investment funds – Sponsorships or Grants - from Upper Yarra Community Enterprise and our Community Banks Warburton & Yarra Junction are reminded that an Acquittal (Project Completion Report) is required.
ACQUITTALS are required PRIOR to making a new application for funding.
PLEASE SUBMIT ACQUITTALS HERE ONLINE> Community Investment Acquittal
