Community Enterprise Foundation

Bringing together people who care about their communities

The Community Enterprise Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, helping Australian communities to tackle major societal challenges with grants, scholarships and community-focused appeals.

We’re here for our Community Bank network, our corporate partners and the Australian community and together we do great things. Because using our business to help communities thrive, is at the heart of what we do.

We work with corporates who support communities

We assist corporates to support causes that are close to their hearts. This includes giving programs, grant and other funding. Funds are distributed across Australia to meet community needs.
