Empowering communities:
$3.5 million awarded to Aussie organisations driving positive change
The CommBank Staff Foundation doubles its impact with 175 organisations each receiving $20,000 through the 2024 Community Grants program.
One hundred and seventy-five community organisations will each receive $20,000, totalling $3.5 million, through the CommBank Staff Foundation’s Community Grants program in its most significant funding year yet.
The 2024 Community Grants will enable a diverse array of projects and provide funding to worthy community organisations supporting mental health, regional communities, victim-survivors of domestic violence, First Nations Peoples education, children’s health, migrants and refugees, and more. With the grants doubling from previous years, this funding will fuel important initiatives that reflect the diversity, resilience and needs of the communities in which these organisations operate in.
This year, the CommBank Staff Foundation has raised $3.5 million to fund these grants through regular salary donations from staff which are then matched by CommBank. Over the past 17 years, the Community Grants program has awarded more than $30 million to worth community organisations, building on CommBank’s long-standing workplace giving culture which dates back to 1917.
