Helping communities thrive

Supporting the places that we call home is a commitment IMB Bank takes seriously. We have been since our establishment in 1880.

In 1999, the IMB Bank Community Foundation was founded to provide a grants program that supported people who are giving their time, energy and expertise to build better, brighter communities.

Over the years, we have donated $12 million to more than 900 community projects, providing meaningful and grassroots changes that address vital and diverse needs in their communities. We are committed to the projects we support and have seen first-hand the difference they make to many people.

What does the Foundation fund?

The Foundation seeks to fund recipients who are not-for-profit or volunteer-based, where the projects create more liveable communities and better outcomes for the people living in them. Working together, we can help the places we call home thrive.*
