Grants

Funding can help turn great ideas into reality — whether you’re planning a community project, hosting an event, growing a business or delivering local services. 

Hinchinbrook Shire Council offers local grant programs and support and also helps connect the community with a wide range of external funding opportunities from government, industry and philanthropic organisations. 

While Council does not manage external grant applications, we’re happy to help guide you to the right funding options or answer general questions. Call Council on (07) 4776 4600. 

The Regional Development Australia (RDA) Grant Finder is a free and easy‑to‑use online tool that matches you with grant opportunities relevant to your organisation, project or business.

  • Includes grants from government, corporate, philanthropic and private sources 

  • Is suitable for businesses, community groups, not‑for‑profits and individuals 

  • Allows you to register for alerts so you don’t miss future opportunities
