Commonwealth Bank Australia and Porter Davis Homes have offered to donate $10,000 each to the foundation.

Foundation chief executive Michael Bailey said the growing support for Bendigo’s Y Foundation is testament to the professionalism of the organisation and the demonstrated success of its programs.

"The Y Foundation exists to bring about stronger people, families and communities," he said. 

"Every year, the foundation feeds 25,000 children a healthy breakfast and offers $50,000 in community grants."

The new sponsors come after the Bendigo Advertiser, Poyser Motors and Custom Coffee backed the foundation earlier in the year. 

Foundation chairman David Flint said the fundraising included events which attracted corporate support and invited community participation. 

"We have our Peter Krenz Golf Day, 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge, Sweat Versus Steam Footrace, Greater Murray Golf Day and School Breakfast Program," he said. 

"These events attract a lot of media and community interest, involve everyday people in active and inclusive ways, and raise money which goes directly back to the community through our grants program and services."

The Y Foundation is an offshoot of the Bendigo Regional YMCA. 

The foundation is dedicated to supporting the community through its fundraising efforts.

Applications close on Saturday August 30.
