Community 21 is the living embodiment of the Australian not-for-profit sector’s ability to take control of its own destiny, in particular in relation to finance and capital.
Ten years ago, Community 21 embarked on a bold and exciting plan to create a banking service dedicated to providing tailored financial products and services to the not-for-profit sector, that bold vision was realised in 2002 with the launch of Community Sector Banking, a joint venture between Community 21 and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.
Today, Community Sector Banking remains the only banking service providing specialised banking products and services exclusively to not-for-profit organisations throughout the country.
Without the appropriate financial resources and capital models, the not-for-profit sector will struggle to be as effective as it wants to be.
Community 21 believes that the Australian not-for-profit sector is strong and resilient. As a sector we are a significant contributor to the common wealth of this nation both economically and socially.
The future demands that will be placed on the not-for-profit sector will be significant; Community 21 will continue to develop innovative responses to the financial and capital needs of the sector.
