2024 COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOUNDATION RECIPIENTS
A total of $606,034 funds donated in 2024!
At Greenbank Services Club, we take pride in our genuine community involvement. Our community support initiatives include the Community Benefit Foundation, Together We Rise Fund, School Bursary, The Green Project with Mick Hancock, and Community Raffle Program. These programs aim to offer prompt and direct assistance to the local community, ranging from grassroots support to major disaster relief efforts.
The funding provided through these initiatives directly benefits charitable organisations, schools, sporting groups, and the community at large. This financial support aims to enhance community well-being and contribute to creating more vibrant and inclusive local environments for residents to live, work, and enjoy.
We invited applications from eligible Not-for-Profit organisations that deliver essential services within Brisbane Southside. Priority is given to organisations focused on childhood/youth, individuals with disabilities, environmental conservation, and social/community welfare.
Late 2022, we announced our latest initiative to commence in 2023, which is the: Together We Rise $50,000 School Bursary Program.
$50,000 SCHOOL BURSARY
The Club's $50,000 School Bursary Program was implemented by the Club in 2023 to invest in the future of our younger generation. The program aims to encourage, reward and support local students in excellence in academic performance, cultural engagement, strength and resilience.
This is the second year running for the $50,000 School Bursary Program and we were thrilled to see another 32 impressive students from Park Ridge State High School, Marsden State High School, Browns Plains State High School & Flagstone State Community College nominated for either Academic Excellence or Strength & Resilience. Thank you to CTA Training for their additional contribution of $2,000 and 4 awards of encouragement.
The funds were distributed between the 32 students, their schools and nominated charities. Click here for more details and this year's winners.
