community grants scheme

From 2004-2009, our Community Grants Scheme provided over $900,000 to 383 community groups in Queensland.

Each year we provide funding for not-for-profit groups across Queensland as part of our Community Grants Scheme. This scheme aims to provide support to groups in our branch areas for a wide range of activities, facilities and services that offer a tangible and sustainable benefit to the community, and encourage active participation in these local communities. The scheme allows Queensland Country to proactively support community groups, in line with our aim to continually improve the lives of our Members and the communities in which they live and work.

We understand and acknowledge that community groups play a large role in the development of a community, and that it can be difficult for these small organisations to self-fund activities and services. Queensland Country aims to offset costs or fully fund projects that are deemed to be widely beneficial to the community. This assists local groups to develop and expand their activities and reach within their community.
