Posted 2 January 2026

The first round of grant applications for support from Community Bank Epping will open in February 2026. Interested clubs, groups and organisations can get information ready now to assist with lodging a request for funding support.

Community Bank Epping’s mission is support community projects and organisations that help the Epping District. Each year, we aim to return 80% of our profits through grants and sponsorships. This is made possible through the support of locals who choose to use our Bendigo Bank for their banking needs. Our grant opportunities program is managed by our volunteer Board of Directors.

In 2025, we helped to fund 50 projects from 37 organisations, with more than $430,000 going back to helping Epping be a great place to live. Read more about our work in 2025 here.

Eligible organisations are able to apply when a funding round is open for applications. The next round will run from 1 – 28 February 2026. This will be a round for Grants. If you are from a club (e.g. sports club) and want to know more about annual or recurring sponsorship, you need to email eppingcbgrants@gmail.com for more information as there is a different application process.

Now is the time to get ready, and we urge groups interested in applying to read the following information:

This page will help you prepare the information you will need for your application.

Read the Guidelines to understand if you meet eligibility criteria and how the program works.

Application details and links to the online application form.
