About the program
The Queensland Remembers Grants Program provides funding to assist eligible organisations that support Queensland veterans and their families.
A total of $5.9 million has been made available across four annual rounds through the:
- Major Capital Works Grants Program (between $50,000 to $250,000 excluding GST per grant) to deliver major capital works, such as internal building refurbishments or upgrades, improving access for people with a disability or upgrading communal meeting areas.
- Minor Capital Works Grants Program (up to $50,000 excluding GST per grant) to deliver minor capital works such as repairs to, or maintenance of buildings or facilities and the purchase of equipment.
- Community Grants Program ( up to $50,000 excluding GST per grant) to deliver commemorative activities or events and projects such as the creation or refurbishment of memorials, avenues of honour and memorial gardens. Local councils are welcome to apply for funding in the Community grants program.
Ex-service and other not-for-profit organisations that provide support and services for Queensland veterans and their families are welcome to apply for funding under all three funding streams.
The fourth and final round of the program will open later this year.
