The Maleny Credit Union prides itself on being a caring, community-orientated organisation. They put their values and ethics into practice in many ways, one of which is the Community Grants Scheme. The Credit Union has been allocating up to 10% of its before-tax profit each year to the grants scheme which has been operating in its current form since 1999 and has already contributed $90,000 directly back into the community.

We encourage applications from a wide variety of established groups, from sporting to gardening and environmental to community care groups. If you know of any organisations that may benefit from a Maleny Credit Union Charitable Trust Grant, please pass on our contact details.

For more information on eligibility and to obtain application forms you can write to us at 28 Maple Street, Maleny, Q 4552 call us on (07) 5494 2144, or drop into Bunya House or download the information brochure and form below.

Applications closed on the 30th of June, 2005 and after consideration, the Grants Committee made a recommendation to the credit union's membership at the Annual General Meeting in October. Provided the grants recommendation is accepted, the funds are then dispersed to the successful applicants.

Please check back here before June 2007 for the new 2007 round of Community Grants.
