What’s in the 2022–23 Queensland budget for your organisation?

Key highlights in the 2022–23 budget for community groups and economy recovery include:

• $39.1 million over four years to fund the Small Business Grants and the Mentoring for Growth program
• $6 million in increased funding over four years and $1.5 million per annum ongoing to continue the Community Sustainability Action Grant program
• $3 million additional funding in 2022-23 towards the Community Partnership Innovation Grant scheme
• $1.5 million funding has been reallocated in 2022-23 to provide grants to support local communities with their alcohol management plans
• $540,000 for the Investing in Queensland Women grant program
• $250,000 to support community-led projects that improve women's safety through the Safe and Diverse Communities grant program
• $230,000 increased base funding of neighbourhood and community centres
• Cuts to payroll tax for small-to-medium-sized businesses

It's still unclear when or how this money will trickle down to not-for-profits and community groups, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for grant updates relevant to Funding Centre members.
