Financial Literacy Grants

Around Australia, 500 secondary schools have received a $3,500 Financial Literacy Grant since 2004, investing a total of $1.75 million in the Australian community.

The Commonwealth Bank Foundation is committed to delivering effective and sustainable programs that produce long term educational outcomes for students across Australia. After consultation with our stakeholders and educational communities, we will no longer be offering the Financial Literacy Grants program, choosing to invest in the expansion of our award winning StartSmart program. In 2010 we will be offering StartSmart to more primary and secondary school students across Australia. Click here for more information.
