The Heritage Bank Charitable Foundation are thrilled to announce an incredible $137,000 in grants are on offer to eligible charities, including the new $50,000 Heritage and People’s Choice Grant.
The new grant celebrates the successful merger between Heritage Bank and People’s Choice Credit Union and recognises both organisations’ long history of community support.
A total of six grants are available and are to be used to support the overall costs of a specific program that has a proven track record of creating impact in one of our three focus areas. They are not tied to individual aspects of a program, for example transport, wages or consumables.
