Helping the Epping area through community funding is an important reason why Community Bank Epping was established, 20 years ago. A local bank, with all the services one would expect, but where the profits go back to the area through grants and sponsorship.
We’ve now given out more than $2 million and gave a record number of grants over the last year. These all help our community grow and thrive. They support the local P&Cs, fund essential equipment for sports clubs, assist family and youth charities in supporting residents and enable a wider range of community facilities and activities.
In the first half of 2024, we funded 25 projects from 23 organisations who applied in our first funding round for the year. These projects are now well underway.
There will be one more grant application round in 2024 (open from 1 July – 15 August) and now is the time to get ready to apply. Here is some advice on how to lodge the best application.
Firstly, there are some important eligibility criteria – make sure your organisation fit these:
Here are some hints for your project:
To find out more about the process and eligibility, please read the Community Funding Guidelines. Gather any paperwork you will need (bank statements, quotes, background information) before you start your application.
Applications opened on 1 July and run until 15 August 2024. You can only apply through our online application system – link below. You can download a preview of the form as well.
