The outcomes from these projects are expected to benefit the community long term, in a meaningful and sustainable way.
The program was established in 2021 to expand on the existing My Community Program, and seeks to support high impact projects that have an enduring focus on Health, Education and Social outcomes in the region.
Tanya Schiller CEO BDCU said the social impact, including initiatives like the Community Grants Program, were at the heart of BDCU's DNA.
"I'm delighted with the final selection of successful applicants and I'm confident our financial support of their projects will help generate significant positive and enduring impact across our communities for years to come," she said.
The next round of applications opens May 1, 2022. Not For Profit (NFP) organisations interested in applying should visit the BDCU website to learn more.
