Supporting Local Projects: How Moreton Bay’s Grant Program Works
In the City of Moreton Bay, we’re fortunate to have a strong community spirit backed by a range of grant programs that help bring local ideas to life. Whether it’s a small event, facility upgrade, or a project that supports social inclusion or environmental outcomes, Council’s grants are designed to support the groups and individuals working to make a positive impact in our region.
Council offers several types of grants throughout the year. These include:
- Community Support Grants – Up to $5,000 for activities like events, equipment, and operational costs.
- Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) – A partnership with Arts Queensland to support local arts and culture projects.
- Community Facility Grants – Funding to upgrade or improve community-owned facilities.
- Partnerships and Sponsorships – For larger-scale initiatives that deliver broad benefits to the community.
- Environmental Grants – Supporting landowners and groups working on sustainability and conservation projects.
Each grant category has specific eligibility criteria, funding limits, and application periods. While some are open year-round, others have set funding rounds. The process typically involves submitting an application with a clear project plan, budget, and evidence of community benefit. Council officers are available to help applicants understand the requirements and strengthen their submissions.
Grant applications are assessed on merit, transparency, and alignment with Council’s strategic goals. This ensures that funding goes to projects that deliver real value to the local community.
If you’re part of a community group, sporting club, creative organisation, or environmental initiative, it’s worth exploring what’s available. These grants are a great way to get extra support for ideas that help our region grow stronger, greener, and more connected.
