What’s Happening?
Community organisations across Queensland can now apply for the State Government’s 2027 Celebrating Reconciliation Grants Program.
The program supports community-led events and activities during National Reconciliation Week, encouraging greater cultural understanding and stronger connections. Applications close on 18 December 2026.
Why It Matters

By supporting local initiatives, the program aims to strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Queenslanders.
Local Impact
Eligible organisations throughout Queensland can seek funding for reconciliation activities, provided they are based in the state and deliver their proposed events within Queensland.

National Reconciliation Week is an annual opportunity for Australians to reflect on their shared history and consider meaningful action towards reconciliation.
The week begins on 27 May, the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, and concludes on 3 June with Mabo Day, commemorating the landmark 1992 High Court Mabo decision.
