Grant funds available depend on our commission income from Bendigo Bank and Bendigo Telco. See ‘How to Support Us.’
The greater the community support for these businesses, the greater the funds we can return to our community.
We look forward to increasing the funds available in future years. The next round of Small Grants will take place is now open and closes on July 15, 2016.
