Who is eligible to apply?
You must:
- Be an organisation with an ABN/can or an incorporated association (unincorporated bodies need to be auspiced by an incorporated body) located in the areas surrounding our branch network within Melbourne’s Inner East.
- Have a project partner if you are not an incorporated organisation. A project partner is an incorporated community or not-for profit organisation that is willing to enter into the funding agreement on your behalf and help you to deliver the project.
- Bank with Community Bank Inner East (unless exempt under state government legislation), or be prepared to move your banking to one of our branches (unless exempt under State Government legislation).
Organisations, clubs and community groups are eligible to apply once in each 12-month period. Sporting clubs should apply for funding prior to the commencement of the season. As we assess applications on a quarterly basis, winter sports should apply in the November or February rounds summer sports should apply in May or August.
