Community Grants Program

The Community Grants Program reflects Horizon Bank’s commitment to our wonderful South Coast communities. Horizon Bank is proud to support projects, programs and events that align with our values, and are making a significant contribution to the community and the lives of others.

Grants are available of up to a maximum amount of $5,000 (including GST) per application. Projects must provide enduring value to the community and have key project deliverables. Each submission will be reviewed based on the organisation’s community involvement, impact and achievements.

The following groups are eligible to apply:

• Community groups
• Incorporated not-for-profit organisations
• Registered charities

We encourage you to apply if the project: 

• Will create benefits for the community
• Is likely to become self-sustaining over time
• Has the ability to transfer skills and knowledge
• May be considered innovative, or a "first" within your community
• Meets a real need or solves a community problem

• May be construed as discriminatory
• Contribute to the financial gain of an individual or business
• Could be detrimental to public health or safety
• Promote or encourage substance abuse or gambling
• Could present a hazard or cause offence to the community or the environment
