The community sponsorship program facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships with eligible organisations in our community.

A sponsorship is an arrangement with Community Bank Creswick & District to support an event, activity, individual or organisation through the provision of money, goods or services. Our sponsorships typically provide a tangible benefit to both the recipient (which benefits through receiving material support) and the sponsor (which benefits via enhanced public image and access to a wider audience). The recipient is required to provide some service back to the sponsor, such as advertising or tickets.

The objectives of our sponsorship program are to:

• Undertakes sponsorships to enhance and nurture the Community Banks role as a good corporate citizen. We do this by supporting local community organisations, events and initiatives that also support the business of the branch(es).
• Increase awareness of the Community Bank brand, Bendigo Bank products and services, and provide a financial return on investment to the community bank by increasing the customer/business base.
• Enhance our key message as a community-based organisation, to improve our image within the broader community and to maintain or develop further relationships with communities and groups.
