Indigenous secondary students will receive one-on-one education and cultural learnings after a $20,000 grant to Nalderun Education Aboriginal Corporation.
Nalderun was one of 12 recipients of Bank Australia's annual Customer Community Grant program.
The corporation's cultural advisor, Men's Business coordinator and proud Dja Dja Wurrung Elder Uncle Rick Nelson said Nalderun meant 'all together' in Dja Dja Wurrung.
"We believe by moving forward together we can make the change needed for First Nations youth to thrive," he said.
Nalderun CEO Kathryn Coff expressed gratitude for Bank Australia's support to connect First Nations youth with local Elders, culture, Country and each other.
"Through this, can we provide meaningful relationships and support them to be proud, and know how deadly they really are," she said.
Bank Australia's grants program aimed to support community customers who create positive change, through funding services and programs in their communities.
The bank's head of impact management Jane Kern said the institution was delighted to support organisations such as Nalderun that make a real difference.
"Our customers tell us First Nations recognition and respect is important to them and we know the impact these grants can have to support these great organisations," she said.
"We're proud to support Nalderun so they can continue their important work.
"We believe that banking can be used to create a world where people and planet thrive, and support for Nalderun - on behalf of customers - is one way of doing that."
Bank Australia's Impact Fund commits a portion of annual after-tax profit to support programs, projects and organisations that help create a positive impact.
The other recipients were working in areas of priority focus for the bank, including climate action, LGBTIQ+ inclusion and gender equality.
Bank Australia's customer community grant program began in 2016 and has since pledged more than $2 million in support of 149 projects.
