Community Grants - Round 1 for 2025/26
Community and not-for-profit groups with a vision to develop the region are invited to apply for financial assistance under Maranoa Regional Council’s Community Grants Program.
The Community Grants Program provides an opportunity for groups to receive a significant financial boost for their plans. This program recognises the significant impact of the region’s not-for-profit groups through financial backing of both Council and Small Grant co-funder, Senex Energy.
There are three types of grants available:
• Senex Small Grants $500 to $3,000
• Community Grants $3,001 to $10,000
• Major Grants $10,001 to $20,000
They come under six categories:
• Community Development
• Community Events
• Culture and Heritage
• Sport and Recreation
• Environment
• Economic Development
In the second round of the 2024/25 Community Grants program grants were awarded for a variety of projects. Projects were as diverse as creating accessible shooting lands at the Surat Gun Club, Roma community garden restoration project, funding for the Mitchell’s 2025 Garden Days event and the Shearers & Shed Workers Reunion held in Injune.
