Last Wednesday we officially launched Benefit Bendigo with a celebration at Bendigo Banks’ Mitchell Street branch.
A huge thanks goes to the Mitchell Street branch team for hosting us, to Gather Grace for the amazing finger food, and to all the guests who came along to celebrate our official launch to find out more about what we do. 🎉
It was a great night with local dignitaries, businesses, not-for-profits and, very importantly, some of our inaugural grant recipients, who shared the stories behind their organisations and how granting from initiatives, such as Benefit Bendigo, directly benefit members of our community and create positive change for their organisations.
Thanks to Rose from The Old Church on the Hill and Jo from Sports Focus for sharing their stories, we loved hearing about your journeys and how important funding is to help you do all the wonderful things you do.
And finally, an incredibly special mention goes to our funding partner, Bendigo Bank who makes what we do possible.
