Supporting our Members
and our communities
Queensland Country Bank Good for Good Community Grants is our way of providing a helping hand to community groups across Queensland. We use profits made from our banking business to put back into the community so that the communities that support us, can deliver on projects that support the community. In other words, ‘Good for Good’.
Eligible not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for funding of up to $30,000 to deliver projects that make a practical difference to the lives of people in Queensland communities - projects that help Queenslanders ‘live better’.
We’re looking to support projects that enable people to participate, experience, grow, learn, reach out, connect, make a difference and be safe.
Applications for the 2024 round closed on Monday 2 September 2024. The next round of grants will be announced in 2025.

Learn how Weipa Kindy is creating a lasting impact through a project funded by a Queensland Country Bank Good For Good Community Grant.
2024 saw a record number of applicants and a large amount of requested funding, making it a tough decision for the selection committee. There were plenty of fantastic projects pitched to us from over 40 locations across Queensland, each unique in its own way.
The committee carefully considered how each applicant's proposed project would support their community to continue to grow and thrive, across each of our five pillars of sport and recreation, health, education, environment, and arts and culture.
We're very pleased to assist these groups and can't wait to continue supporting their projects and witnessing the impact they have on their communities!
