Port of Brisbane's 2025/26 $100,000 Community Grant Program is now open, and eligible organisations can apply for up to $15,000 in grant funding.
Applications close on Wednesday 30 April.
Port of Brisbane CEO, Neil Stephens, said the Port’s Community Grant Program has provided more than $1.1 million in funding to support local and regional organisations across the southeast corner and southern Queensland since starting in 2013.
“Our grant program represents more than just financial support, it’s an important way we continue to foster meaningful partnerships with both grassroots organisations and well-established community initiatives right across our trade hinterland," said Mr Stephens.
“Last year, we proudly supported 11 organisations, from the Bayside area, across Greater Brisbane, and extending west to Warwick. These grants are making a tangible difference, providing vital resources for local projects and initiatives."
The Port also identifies volunteer opportunities for its team, furthering its commitment to giving back to the communities it partners with.
“We’re encouraging eligible organisations to apply. Whether your focus is on community wellbeing, youth development, or environmental sustainability, we’re eager to support projects that create lasting impact,” said Mr Stephens.
One of last year’s worthy recipients, ChallengeDV, received grant funding to help deliver specialised Domestic and Family Violence prevention training through the “Our Club Says No to DV” program.
Challenge DV General Manager, Linda Smith, said 91% of the program participants believe their sporting team can play a vital role in preventing DV in the community, while 87% feel more confident speaking up against sexism, racism, or unfair treatment within their sporting club.
“The Port of Brisbane’s Grant Program not only provided crucial funding for us to deliver our program but also connected us with multiple sporting teams in the Bayside region,” said Ms Smith.
“We’ve since been working closely with these teams to foster safer, more inclusive club environments.”
Organisations with projects or initiatives across the fields of education, community, and environment should consider the grant funding, with First Nations organisations strongly encouraged to apply.
