Greater support for the Northern Rivers community
Evans Head PreSchool Association received a welcome boost after taking out the April round of #GreaterNorthernRivers community funding program, and with it $2000.
At Greater Bank, we're committed to the communities we call home. While we show this every day by helping Northern Rivers locals make their financial dreams a reality, we realise that the best way to make communities stronger is by supporting the organisations that bring people together for the common good.
If you are a not-for-profit or charitable community organisation operating in Ballina, Lismore or Casino, read on below to find out how you can benefit from our #GreaterNorthernRivers community funding program.
For the month of May we’re increasing our #GreaterNorthernRivers monthly funding from $3,000 to $30,000. The funding aims to help support our community after devastating floods affected so many in the region.
We’ve picked three deserving organisations providing emergency relief services to locals. As a customer owned bank now we’re putting the decision in your hands to determine how the funds are allocated. The organisation that receives the most votes will receive $15,000, and the second and third placegetters receive $10,000 and $5,000, respectively.
Vote below.
We know that small community organisations are hurting right now, needing funds quickly to help get them back up and running.
So when you nominate an eligible community organisation for #GreaterNorthernRivers during the month of May the organisation will be entered into the wild card draw worth $2,000!
They’ll also be entered into our backlog of entrants and will go up for voting in a future month, with their chance to win another $2,000!
