Kedron-Wavell
COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM
Community Support Through Grants
The annual Kedron-Wavell Community Grants Program provides vital financial support to local individuals and community organisations that meet our eligibility criteria. In 2026, the program will deliver a significant $250,000 in funding, representing a major investment in our community, with grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 available for eligible individuals and non-profit organisations across North Brisbane.
We’re proud to support projects that strengthen health, education, sport, the arts and overall community wellbeing, benefiting Chermside and surrounding areas through Kedron-Wavell, and Sandgate and nearby communities through The Sands Social.
Funding is allocated based on the merit of each application to ensure the greatest possible community impact.
Applications for the 2026 Community Grants Program are now closed.
The grant acceptance presentation will be held on Tuesday 22 September 2026.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I need to include in my submission?
Applications can only be submitted online and cannot be made in person or mailed.
In under 300 words detail the intiative your organisation will use the funds for, including:
- How the initiative will address the needs of the local community. For example, purchasing a defibrillator, upgrading sewing machine equipment or building a new vegetable garden.

The more specific and more information you can provide, the better! Make sure you include the correct email and mobile phone for someone in the organisation so we can reach you if you are successful!
My organisation isn't based in a listed eligible postcode — can we still apply?
Yes! If your organisation supports individuals from any of the eligible postcodes listed on the application form, you are welcome to apply. In your application, simply select the postcode that reflects an area you service, even if it’s not where your organisation is physically located.
How much can I apply for?
You can apply for whatever amount your organisation’s project requires, with the maximum grant amount being $10,000.
It’s important that the amount you apply for is justified in your application.
Are your grants inclusive of GST?
Yes, they are!
I've been accepted for a grant, what's next?
If you’ve been successful, you will receive an email with an invitation to our official Community Grants ceremony where you will receive your funding. You will also be required to submit a financial acquittal once your funds have been spent.
How come I didn't get a grant or how come I didn't get as much as I applied for?
We try to give as much as we can to as many people as we can. Every application is presented to the Board and assessed thoroughly. If you have applied in the past and you didn’t receive a grant, please don’t let this deter you. Apply again this year!
I wasn't successful for a grant, can you tell me why? Or provide me feedback on my application?
Unfortunately, no. We’re unable to provide any feedback about any detail on your application. The Board’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
