Queensland community groups affected by a severe weather event have been urged to apply for an RACQ Foundation grant, with the latest funding round closing soon.
RACQ Foundation spokesperson Emma Green said charities, community groups and sporting clubs across the State could apply for funding of up to $50,000 – or up to $100,000 in exceptional circumstances – to help them recover from cyclones, floods, bushfires and drought.
“Community organisations are the backbone of regional towns, and when they’re struggling, the whole community suffers,” Ms Green said.
“The devastation caused by natural disasters, both financially and emotionally, can be long-lasting, and funding through the RACQ Foundation is one of the ways we help communities recover.”
Community groups are still rebuilding more than seven months on from the devastating south-east Queensland floods.
The latest round of funding closes at 5:00pm on Friday (October 7).
