Local not‑for‑profit organisations, sporting clubs, and community groups are being encouraged to apply for the January round of Burdekin Shire Council’s Community Grants Program. Applications are open from the 1st to the 14th of January.
The grants offer financial or in‑kind support for projects that strengthen local connections and deliver social, cultural, and economic benefits across the region.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort highlighted the value of the program for groups planning their year ahead.
“January is a great time for community organisations to set their goals, and the Community Grants Program helps turn those early‑year ideas into meaningful local outcomes,” she said.
“We see first‑hand how much impact even modest funding can have–whether it’s supporting a new event, helping a group expand a program, or giving volunteers the resources they need to deliver something special for the community.”
Groups interested in applying are encouraged to review the program guidelines and clearly outline the community benefits of their proposed initiatives. Applications and guidelines are available via the Community Grants Program webpage at burdekin.qld.gov.au, or by contacting the Community Development team on (07) 4783 9800.
Applications close at 11:59pm on Wednesday the 14th of January 2026.
