Benefit Bendigo exists to strengthen our community by supporting projects and programs that make a real difference in the lives of Greater Bendigo residents.
Make an application.
If your charitable or not-for-profit organisation is working to create positive, lasting impact – whether through community services, arts and culture, environmental initiatives, education, sport, youth support, wellbeing, or any local improvement – we’d love to hear from you.
Applying for support is simple. We’re here to ensure that the funds generated through banking with Bendigo Bank go directly back into the organisations and initiatives that help Greater Bendigo thrive.
A heads up on a few things…
- Review our Gifting Policy. We recommend you find out all you need to know before you complete your application by reading our Gifting Policy before you apply.
- Grants over $20,000. If you are seeking a grant over $20k we recommend you speak to us prior to completing your application to discuss the feasibility of your request. Please email us to arrange a time to speak to a Board Executive.
- Approval Timings. Our Board meets every two months, so it may take some time before we can formally review your application and provide you with an update. We appreciate your patience and will update you after our next scheduled meeting. In 2026 we’ll next meet mid-month in September and November. In 2027 we’re scheduled to meet mid-month in February, April, June, August, October and December.
Start your application below and let’s continue building a stronger, more connected Greater Bendigo together.
