Maranoa community grant application round 2 is now open!

Maranoa Regional Council is inviting community and not-for-profit groups to apply for financial assistance with the second round of the 2021-22 Community Grants Program which is now open.

The Community Grants Program is a great opportunity for groups to undertake projects with the support of Council and Senex Energy. The Community Grant categories are:

• Small Grant (co-funded by Senex Energy) – $500 - $3,000
• Community Grant – $3,001 - $10,000.

Please note, there will not be a Major Grant in Round Two.

Council recognises the importance of community groups and the valuable contribution they make to the enhancement, enrichment, and liveability of communities in the Maranoa. Council is committed to supporting groups by providing grants for one-off projects in the following categories: Community Development, Culture and Heritage, Environment, Community Events, Sport and Recreation and Economic Development.

Mayor Tyson Golder said Community Grants give Maranoa community groups a helping hand for their projects, events and upgrades.

“We encourage all community groups to apply for these grants. It’s a way to upgrade facilities, improve skills, provide further learning and continue to support the Maranoa community,” Cr Golder said.

Tips, guidelines and application forms for the Community Grants Program are available on Council’s website at https://www.maranoa.qld.gov.au/grants-funding

The application period closes on Thursday, 31 March 2022.

Please contact Council’s Economic and Community Development Team or your Local Development Officer on 1300 007 662 for assistance prior to submitting your application or for any more information regarding Council’s Community Grants Program.
