Queensland Country Bank grants

SUNSHINE Coast community groups are being encouraged to apply for funding of up to $30,000 through Queensland Country Bank’s 2025–26 Good for Good Community Grants.

The program has delivered more than $3 million to grassroots projects since 2005 across arts, sport, health, education and sustainability.

Following the recent opening of its Maroochydore branch — complementing its existing presence in Maleny — the bank is urging local organisations to apply.

“The Sunshine Coast community has embraced our member-focused approach,” said local manager, Mark Gielis.

Past recipients include the Maleny and District Men’s Shed, which received more than $3800 for accessibility upgrades.

Last year, nearly $150,000 was awarded to 15 groups statewide.

Applications close on Sunday, August 31.
