Over the past five decades we’ve helped countless charities, organisations, and sporting groups give back to their communities, and made it possible for community members to achieve their personal, financial, and wellness goals.
We’re focused on ensuring more people and groups get the opportunity to make an impact through our community support initiatives.
Our community engagement framework
As a member-owned, member-first organisation, we’re passionate about supporting our communities and giving back. We’ve recently refreshed our community engagement framework to support five key areas which impact our members and communities.
Health & wellness
Financial wellbeing
Social housing & homelessness
Environment & conservation
Art & leisure
Our current sponsorships and initiatives

How to get involved
Nobody knows what our communities need more than the people who live in them.
That’s why we’ve developed the Community Cares program, an initiative led by our branch network to support local people and causes.
If you are BCU Bank customer and you know a person or organisation that fits one of our five key support areas and could use some support, you can nominate them for Community Cares.
