Community Investment Program 2026

Grant Description

The Community Investment Program supports local community groups, not-for-profit organisations and clubs in Melbourne’s Inner East to deliver projects that provide clear community benefits, strengthen social outcomes and enhance wellbeing across areas such as health, education, culture, sport and social welfare. The program is funded by Inner East Community Finance Limited, which operates Community Bank Inner East branches, and returns up to 60% of company profits to the community through sponsorships and grants. Funding amounts are not fixed and are determined based on available funds, project type, expected community benefit, participant numbers and the organisation’s relationship with Community Bank Inner East.
