Community Funding Program reaches major milestone
After five years and expansions into five regional areas Greater Bank’s #Greater Community Funding program has reached an important milestone.
How our Community Funding programs work
Here's how you can help your community grow greater together with the help of your local funding round.
Step 1 - Nominate
Know of a community organisation that makes your part of the world greater? We want to hear about it. Head to your local region page below, upload a photo and tell us all about them in 100 words or less. (Don't forget to tell the organisation you've nominated them!)
Step 2 - Vote
Each month, we'll select three organisations to take part in an online vote, so locals can decide where our funding should be allocated. You can vote once per hour, so make your voice heard!
Step 3 - Winners are grinners!
At the end of each voting period, we'll announce our winners. First, second and third place winners all win a cash prize, and your local community organisations can keep doing the things you know and love them for.
Hip hip hooray for $500K given away
