Our Impact

Strengthening the Geelong community.

We're for and with Geelong. 

Beyond Bank and AWA Mutual. 
A
merger of shared community values.

Like AWA Mutual, Beyond Bank is customer-owned and purpose-driven. We're part of the local community, and it's our purpose to change the lives of our customers and community in and around Geelong through financial wellbeing.

Gavin Heathcote and Bill Mithen Give Where You Live

We’ve committed $700,000 to local groups in Geelong.

We recently announced the extension of AWA Mutual’s philanthropic partnerships until 2027. This includes staying on as a Major Sponsor at Geelong Connected Communities and as a Platinum Partner of the Give Where You Live Foundation.

Strong and inclusive communities are good for everyone, including us. As an organisation founded by people looking for a way to help others, we have always been mindful of the role that we could (and should) play in building stronger communities.

Some of our community partners in
Geelong:

Give Where You Live Foundation


Geelong Connected Communities


Lazarus Community Centre Geelong


Geelong United Basketball

East Belmont Cricket Club


Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club


East Geelong Golf Club

Creating safe and welcoming spaces for vulnerable people in Geelong.

Lazarus Community Centre Geelong, a local charity that supports those facing homelessness and disadvantage, received a $20,000 grant from the Beyond Bank Foundation. The money will help the Centre continue to provide laundry facilities, meals and inclusive activities for those who are socially isolated. 

Since 2007, the Beyond Bank Foundation has contributed millions of dollars back to the communities where we operate. One of the Foundation’s key focus areas is housing affordability. This grant marks the beginning of our collaboration with community organisations in Geelong to support people who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness.
