Family First Bank is proud to congratulate all the local organisations recognised through our 2025 Community Support Grant Program.
We’re inspired each year by the passion, dedication, and commitment of those working to strengthen our communities. At Family First Bank, we’ve always been deeply rooted in the regions we serve, and our annual Community Support Grant Program is one way we give back—by providing meaningful assistance to the not-for-profit organisations, sporting clubs and charities driving positive change.
In 2025, we awarded nearly $30,000 in funding to over 30 local community-based groups across Lithgow, Bathurst, Blackheath, Mudgee, and surrounding areas. These grants will help deliver projects spanning sport and leisure, family welfare, education, health and wellbeing, arts and culture, and environmental protection—building stronger, more connected communities.
To celebrate, we hosted a morning tea on Friday, 27 June, where recipients shared the inspiring stories behind their projects. From new sporting equipment to family wellbeing programs, local arts initiatives and environmental projects, each grant reflects our shared commitment to supporting local people making a real difference.
“Each year, we’re humbled by the incredible work happening in our towns,” said Kerena Morris, Team Leader. “We’re proud to support these organisations and be part of their journey.”
The Family First Bank Community Support Grant Program is an annual initiative offering grants of up to $1,000 per applicant. Applications are reviewed by a panel of Family First Bank Directors and a community representative, with priority given to non-profit, community-based organisations that demonstrate strong local involvement and meaningful outcomes.
We’re delighted to recognise this year’s recipients and the vital work they do. Applications for the 2026 Community Support Grant Program will open in April 2026. If your organisation is helping to create positive change, we’d love to hear from you.
Together, we’re building stronger, more vibrant communities—one grant at a time.
