Community Enterprise™ Foundation

The Community Enterprise™ Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group. Since 2005, the foundation has worked closely with Bendigo Bank’s network of community and charitable partners to distribute in excess of $12 million to more than 1,700 charitable projects and programs in communities across Australia.

The foundation has played a central role in mobilising the generosity of thousands of Australian who have chosen to support those in need through a series of appeals run through the bank’s branch network.

The foundation does this by collecting donations in a tax-effective way from individuals, businesses and governments. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and the Foundation's own trustee, Sandhurst Trustees, are two companies which have already committed to make ongoing donations.

Our foundation also offers communities with a unique opportunity to build their own pool of funds for distribution by our Trustees in consultation with their own community representatives. Effectively, each community has access to its 'own' charitable foundation.
