THE Greater Shepparton Connected Community is a board made up of local community members looking to make a difference. The board is proudly sponsored by the Bendigo Bank Shepparton.

Bendigo Bank customer relationship officer, Bridget Dwyer said, “When Bendigo Bank customers ‘tag’ their accounts as a Connected Community account, the Bendigo Bank donates a portion of bank profits to the Greater Shepparton Connected Community fund. This payment is completely separate from customer banking and in no way impacts the account owner’s funds in the bank. The money that is paid to the Greater Shepparton Connected Community fund is then distributed to community groups who apply for funding via the grant application process.”
