Community Grants Program opens 17 August

The next round of Noosa Council’s Community Grants Program opens for applications on 17 August.

Eligible organisations and individuals have until noon, 30 September to submit an application for Community Projects Grants and/or Regional Arts Development Fund Grants (RADF).

Not-for-profit incorporated community organisations whose activities benefit the Noosa community are encouraged to apply for funding under the Community Projects Grants fund.  This grant funds events, programs and building works or essential infrastructure, and is allocated through a competitive assessment process twice a year.

The Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Shire Council to support the development of local arts and culture.

It supports locally determined arts and cultural development opportunities by providing one-off, short-term, project-based financial assistance to groups and individuals in regional Queensland.

“Noosa Council's Community Grants program is designed to help needy organisations and individuals meet community needs, build community skills and resilience and develop and maintain community infrastructure,” says Noosa Council Community Development Coordinator  Alison Hamblin.
