Greater Central Coast

At Greater Bank, we believe one of the best ways to make communities stronger is by supporting those organisations that bring people together for a common good.

Our #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program plays an important role in supporting a wide and diverse range of groups across the region that are generating positive action in the areas of health, education, lifestyle, as well as cultural and community events.

These groups include grassroots sporting clubs, school P&C associations, not-for-profit and volunteer organisations, established charities, and many more.

It’s something we’re incredibly proud of and our way of saying ‘Thank You’ to those groups and people making Central Coast Greater.

Our Community Funding Program is all about positivity, inclusivity and supporting all. It’s why all our entrants, regardless of the number of votes they attract, receive a cash prize.

While we understand this is a competition, we encourage everyone to participate in the program with the same intent that we bring it to you. Please treat each other with the kindness and respect that everyone in the community deserves.
