Community Grants
Community Grants create mutually beneficial agreements with local Not-for-profit or Auspiced Organisations to support the delivery of community outcomes for Townsville.
This program is focused on enabling successful activities through the provision of one-off funding.
Community Grants are most suited to community organisations that seek funding and/or in-kind support to conduct activities which align with the public interest and improve the quality of life for residents of Townsville.
Applications are open throughout the year and close 1 May annually. Applications for Activities will be considered until funds for Grants and Partnerships are exhausted.
