$100,000 in community grant funding up for grabs!

Applications are open now for Port of Brisbane’s $100,000 Community Grant Program.

Individual, eligible projects can apply for up to $15,000 in grant funding, with applications closing on Sunday 30 April.

Port of Brisbane CEO, Neil Stephens, said the Port was delighted to celebrate 10 years of its Community Grant Program.

“Since 2013, the Port of Brisbane Community Grant Program has supported 137 community organisations both close to the Port and in the regions where our customers and supply chain partners operate,” said Neil.

“This year’s grant funding (2023/24) will take our total contribution to over $1,000,000 – that’s one million dollars that is supporting organisations who are giving back so much to local communities.” 

The Community Grant Program is open to eligible organisations from the Bayside through to the Lockyer Valley and the Darling Downs.

One of last year’s worthy recipients was the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, who received funding to contribute to improving the facilities at its Manly base. The Scout Association Darling Downs received funding to purchase audio visual equipment for training and the Ningy Ningy Traditional Owners received funding to support the revegetation and restoration of native habitat in Kurbingaibah (Redcliffe). A full list of recipients is available on our website.

Organisations with projects across the fields of education, community, and environment should consider the grant funding, with First Nations organisations strongly encouraged to apply.
