Every grant, sponsorship and partnership we’ve funded across Maroondah. We publish this openly because our community deserves to see what their banking has built.
We fund work that produces measurable outcomes on the ground — not press releases, not vanity metrics.
Each project we back is carefully considered to ensure it aligns with community needs, and supports lasting benefit.
Every cycle represents many hands funding. A reflection of how we strengthen the connections we rely on.
We publish the full grants and sponsorships list each year — every dollar accounted for, traceable to a partner.
We’re proud to be the only community bank within the City of Maroondah, and what truly sets us apart is that up to 80% of our profits are returned directly to the local community.
We’re proud to support The All Stars, a transformative community music program that brings people together through the pure joy of making music. With 70 participants every week, this inclusive program creates a space where everyone can plug in, pick up a microphone, and experience music in its most authentic form. No inhibitions, just friends making music together.
Community
As a major partner of Council, we help bring to life the events, programs and shared spaces that make Maroondah feel like Maroondah.
