Mackay’s Broken Ballerina is able to dance another day thanks to a generous grant from CommBank.
The local Mackay not-for-profit which supports victims of domestic violence was one of 200 community organisations set to receive a $10,000 donation from CommBank as part of the CommBank Staff Foundation’s Community Grants program.
The $10,000 grant will allow Broken Ballerina to continue offering this vital local service and assisting those who are re-starting their lives after getting out of an abusive relationship.
The multi-million-dollar pool is made up of regular contributions by CommBank staff which are matched by the bank, and this year’s program builds on CommBank’s 100+ year history of supporting the community.
Through its Staff Foundation, CommBank employees nominate the charities they’re most passionate about to receive funding.
Liz Geisler, Branch Manager at Commonwealth Bank in Caneland Shopping Centre said, “We’re incredibly thankful to these inspiring organisations that are creating a brighter future in communities across Australia.
“The CommBank Staff Foundation is proud to support them to continue the amazing work they are doing and driving positive change.”
