The Trustee for QCoal Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Applications should demonstrate clear community benefit in regional or remote Queensland, with emphasis on health, education, or liveability outcomes. Given the foundation's focus on partnership models (as seen with RFDS and Act for Kids), applicants should emphasise collaborative, community-driven approaches rather than standalone projects.
Giving Philosophy
QCoal Foundation prioritises community-led initiatives that address liveability, health, and education outcomes in regional and remote Queensland. It values collaborative approaches, working directly with communities to develop programs that meet local needs and build long-term resilience.
