Qantas Regional Grants

The Qantas Regional Grants program aims to help regional communities sustain brighter futures by providing financial, flight and marketing support to charities, organisations, causes, projects and individuals over a five-year period.  

Entry is open to Australian based individuals, not-for-profit community groups and organisations of any size, who are seeking funding to help enhance the lives of people in  regional communities.

Charitable organisations must also be:

• registered in Australia, and
• endorsed as income tax exempt.

The Qantas Regional Grants judging panel will determine the successful applicants each year. Judges will examine all eligible entries and select applicants that they determine best meet the below criteria.

• The extent to which the applicant directly services a regional community need and demonstrates a measurable socioeconomic impact.
• The extent to which the applicant can maximise local community benefits in regional Australia with the Qantas Regional Grants Program funding.
• The extent to which the project or activity will celebrate and highlight the work of the applicant and help boost the profile and strength of the applicant for the future; and
• The ability of the applicant to demonstrate innovation in their project strategy, goals and mission, and how these align to improving their service offering and increasing regional impact.
