What is the QCoal Foundation Community Grant?

The QCoal Foundation Community Grant is a program to encourage community-led initiatives to improve liveability, health and education in communities throughout regional and remote Queensland.

Objectives

The objectives of the QCoal Foundation Community Grant Program are:

to make meaningful and positive contributions to support the development of vibrant, liveable and sustainable regional and remote communities.
to foster productive partnerships between QCoal Foundation and local communities and organisations that facilitate long-term, sustainable solutions to community identified needs.
To provide a simple and transparent process for the application and receipt of project funding that benefits regional and remote communities.
