Community Funding

Community Partnership Funding Programs

Strathmore Community Services Limited operates the franchise of the Strathmore Community Bank Branch and has been proudly supporting our local community since opening the Branch on 23 July 2001. Community partnership funding is made possible by the profit generated from banking services provided at our branch. We return up to 80% of our profits back to the community so the more banking business we have, the more funds we have available to give back to the local community.

Growing our customer base allows this unique banking model to thrive and our capacity to provide funding to more organisations into the future. To continue the good work, we look to develop community partnerships that provide opportunities to promote Strathmore Community Bank Branch. In particular, we hope that you will encourage members of your organisation to bank with us.

FUNDING APPLICATIONS FORMS

If you are not currently a customer of Community Bank, Strathmore we highly recommend you visit our branch and discuss opening an account before applying for funding.
