Sign up to our Grants Register to receive updates about our upcoming round of Good for Good Grants
Queensland Country Bank Good for Good Community Grants is our way of providing a helping hand to community groups across Queensland. We use profits made from our banking business to put back into the community so that the communities that support us, can deliver on projects that support the community. In other words, ‘Good for Good’.
Eligible not-for-profit organisations are invited to apply for funding of up to $30,000 to deliver projects that make a practical difference to the lives of people in Queensland communities - projects that help Queenslanders ‘live better’.
