Community Bank Daylesford District

Thank you for your interest in our Community Investment Programs. We’d love you to apply and contribute towards our thriving local community.

We help build community

Our Community Investment Program has returned over $800,000 to local community groups and organisations. We fund meaningful and impactful projects across the Daylesford district and have strengthened community connections in the process.

We’re focused on significantly investing in purposeful projects over the coming years.

We encourage your application for funding for community projects from the Community Bank Daylesford District (CBDD), which is operated by Daylesford District Community Developments Limited (DDCDL), under franchise agreement with the Bendigo Bank.

We fund projects local to the Daylesford District, including Hepburn Springs and other communities near Daylesford with respect to areas serviced by other Community Banks.

The funds we provide are made available solely due to the customers who bank with the Community Bank Daylesford District. Because of this, we consider all our community investments as partnerships with organisations in our community.

Strengthen our local community and improve wellbeing

DDCDL will accept applications for projects that aim to strengthen the Daylesford District community and improve local community wellbeing. These projects will also increase awareness of the Community Bank Daylesford District brand and/or products and services, and so increase the CBDD customer/business base.

Your project may be a grant, sponsorship or donation

Grant

Each grant we offer is a sum of money provided to an organisation for a specific purpose.

Sponsorship

We sponsor events, projects or organisations through the provision of money, goods or services in return for the purchase of tangible potential rights and benefits. Long-term sponsorship arrangements may be made but will be reassessed annually and may be terminated if the terms of the sponsorship are not being met.

Donation

We sometimes donate money with no specific benefits to DDCDL or CBDD required.

Get involved

If you’re part of a community group doing great things, making change and delivering exciting projects, please apply for community investment funding.
