Community Bank Highett

Investing in Our Community's Future

At Community Bank Highett, as a profit-for-purpose organisation our mission is to contribute to the prosperity of our community. We are dedicated to forming partnerships that drive positive outcomes for the people and organisations we serve. We believe that thriving communities are the foundation of successful businesses.

Through our community investment funding, we proudly support local organisations that are working to build and strengthen our community. These investments are made possible by the profits generated from the banking services provided at our branch.

Community Investment Funding Programs

Grants

Our grants are designed to address pressing social issues within our community. We support projects and programs that have a broad impact, such as mental health initiatives, educational programs, playground development, community engagement, and arts and culture activities.

Community Bank Highett does not provide grants for a start up business 

Grants for Defibrillators

Defibrillators play a crucial role in saving lives. They are designed to be user-friendly, enabling members of the public to assist someone experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest before medical help arrives. If your club or organisation needs a defibrillator, please submit a grant application.

Grants for mental health programs
Does your club need funding for a mental health program? If so, we encourage you to apply for a grant for SALT (Sport & Life Training) sessions. Grant spots are limited. For more details about SALT and how it can benefit your club, please visit here. 

Sponsorships

We provide sponsorships to projects, or organisations in exchange for the opportunity to communicate the importance of banking through the Highett branch. This support can include funding for sporting equipment, and fundraising activities, and events that are helping to build strong community ties.

Donations

We offer both financial support and services to help achieve meaningful social outcomes in our communities. Whether through direct financial assistance or providing resources, we are here to help make a difference.
