“Our not-for-profit organisations are the heart and soul of Queensland communities,” Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said.
“These grants will help these hard-working groups continue and build on their work, and help deliver relevant services to our locals.
“Local businesses and suppliers are set to benefit too as many of our community groups turn to them to purchase equipment, and for building services giving a much-needed boost to our economy, especially in regional Queensland.”
