As a Community Bank, we exist to feed into prosperity – not off it. We contribute over 80% of the profits that we make straight back into our district via sponsorships, scholarships & dividends to our local shareholders. To date, we are proud to have put over $3.8million back into our community.
All of our community support is made possible by the profit generated from banking services provided at our 3 branches. That means that the more locals that bank with us, the more money we can contribute back and the more our community benefits!
We open for sponsorship applications twice per year via our Community Sponsorship Program – in April & September. This program is open to local organisations with projects, events or purchases that make our region an even better place to live. It also helps to assist talented locals to pursue their potential.
If you have a sponsorship request that has a genuine reason for falling outside of these timeframes, please contact our Executive Officer, Lauren on 0413 417 055 or Lross@lockmore.com.au.
We first launched our University & TAFE Scholarship Program in 2023 to assist our local students to transition into their first year of further studies. To date, we have proudly supported 23 local students with $3,000 scholarships to assist with their travel, accommodation, books & study-related expenses. Generally, we open our Scholarship Program for applications in December each year.
