This section provides information on the range of Grants & Funding opportunities available for outdoor recreation providers in Queensland. In addition there is information on making a grant application and other fund-raising ideas. It is worth noting that by their very nature funding sources do not have constant application dates, and criteria and conditions are subject to change.
Please note that this list is representative only and does not cover all that is available. We recommend talking to your local government/ sport and recreation representatives and researching your local area for other opportunities.
