What we have achieved in previous years
Every year, Family First gives away a percentage of its revenue in the form of community grants to assist organisations and individuals who are doing great things in our regions to help make our communities a better place to live. In 2023 we were able to assist 40 community not for profit organisations, sporting clubs, local charities and individuals by handing out grants totalling $40,498. The morning and afternoon tea events are planned so that funds can be distributed but the highlight is hearing about all the good things the recipients are doing with their grant money.
Family First Bank prides itself on being a very socially responsible corporate citizen with the belief that if we expect support from the people within the community well then we must also be able to provide support back to the communities within which we operate.

Blackheath Community Grants 2023
Congratulations Friends of Blackheath Hall!
Friends of Blackheath HallMental Health Initiative
Family First Bank is a proud supporter of the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program. The initiative to support this organisation is built around a Bonus Saver Account for which members can earn a bonus amount of interest when they don’t withdraw from the account and make a deposit of at least $200 in the month. A percentage of the savings pool is then paid as a social dividend to this program. Put simply, the greater the balance of the Bonus Saver Accounts, the greater the funding we can provide to take on the issue of mental health.
Since launching this initiative in November 2017, we have raised over $247,640 for mental health related issues. This is a great result for mental health outcomes and as such Family First Bank and its members can feel very proud of its efforts.
Look at the community groups we've already helped!
