Community Bank Altona and Laverton is inviting everyone along to a Community Partners Grants Night.
Taking place at the Laverton Bowls Club between 6.30-8.30pm on Thursday, the night will give local groups from Hobsons Bay and parts of Wyndham the chance to apply for assistance.
This evening will bring together local community groups, clubs and residents with an emphasis on celebrating the power of partnerships and philanthropic banking.
Since opening its doors in 2000, the Community Bank has been reinvesting profits back into the local area supporting schools, sporting clubs, youth initiatives, and community projects.
The event will also mark the launch of the next Community Grants Round, providing local organisations the opportunity to learn more about applying for funding.
The grants are open to non-profit organisations and charities that focus on important social issues.
Guests can look forward to hearing about updates on the impact of past community partnerships, insights into the unique, community-owned banking model, and details on how to apply for the next round of grants.
Liaison officer Lisa Field said that night is about much more than funding.
“It’s a chance to bring people together, for peer networking, and to strengthen the local connections that make Altona, Laverton and surrounding areas such a great place to live,” she said.
Light refreshments will be served on arrival, with formal presentations beginning at 7pm.
Drinks will be available at bar prices.
