Queensland Country Bank opens 2026-27 Good for Good grants
Applications are open for the 2026-27 Queensland Country Bank Good for Good Community Grants. Community groups, charities, sporting clubs and not-for-profit organisations across Queensland can apply.
Eligible organisations can apply at queenslandcountry.bank/goodforgood. The grants fund local projects in facilities, health, inclusion, young people and the environment.
Queensland Country Bank has invested more than $3 million in communities across the state. Since the programme began 20 years ago, it has awarded 682 Good for Good Community Grants worth more than $3.27 million.
The funding has reached projects from South East Queensland to Cape York, the North West and regional heartland communities. Examples include cancer support workshops in Cairns, accessible beaches in Mackay, Indigenous education in Brisbane and grassroots sport in Mount Isa.
In 2025-26 alone, the bank supported 16 community grants with a record-breaking $220,000-plus. Those projects focused on Sport and Recreation, Health, Education, Environment, and Arts, Culture and Heritage.
According to Queensland Country Bank, the programme has supported organisations in more than two dozen Queensland communities. The grants have backed schools, Indigenous organisations, disability initiatives, environmental programmes, health services, cultural groups and volunteer organisations.

Chief executive Aaron Newman said the grants reflect the bank’s customer-owned model, with profits reinvested into products, services, members and local communities.
“Every community has passionate people working hard to make life better for others, and often all they need is a helping hand to turn a great idea into reality,” Newman said.
He said the grants back projects that upgrade community facilities, support health and wellbeing, improve access and inclusion, invest in young people and protect the environment.
Queensland Country Bank stated that these grants are one of the clearest ways it gives back across Queensland. The bank linked the programme to lasting local impact for member communities.
