Community grants

Noosa Council’s latest round of Community Grants opened on 6 August. The program provides essential funding of between $1,000 and $30,000 to local not-for-profit groups to support a variety of projects, events, training, planning, equipment, and facility improvements.

In the previous round, Noosa Council awarded $96,409.67 to local organisations.

Sylvia Covey from the Tinbeerwah Hall Committee said, "As a recipient of grants over previous years, the Tinbeerwah Hall Committee has been able to enhance and upgrade the facilities of the hall while maintaining the low hire fee for our community users. The recent grant of $5,000 allowed for the upgrade of tables, which are lightweight and easily manoeuvrable for our more mature community.”

A Grant Writing Workshop will be held on 27 August from 9am-12.30pm at the Cooroy Library. Council staff will provide practical information and support for writing successful grant applications.

This grant round closes on 17 September and is for projects between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025. Visit: noosa.qld.gov.au.
