The Ergon Energy Network Community Fund is now open to not-for-profit groups across regional Queensland, offering a meaningful opportunity to secure funding for locally-led initiatives that strengthen community resilience and wellbeing.
Designed to support grassroots organisations in regional and remote areas, the fund welcomes projects that address factors like community connections, environmental sustainability, emergency preparedness, energy safety and local inclusion.
This funding stream is particularly relevant for groups operating outside major urban centres, within the service area of Ergon Energy Network, where infrastructure and social resources may be more limited. The fund aims to help organisations bring their practical ideas to life—whether equipping community spaces, advancing energy efficiency in local facilities, strengthening volunteer services, or supporting disaster recovery readiness after events such as floods or cyclones.
Although grant amounts can vary, recent rounds have offered up to $10,000 for eligible projects, reflecting the scale and purpose of community-scale initiatives. Applications are open to incorporated charities, not-for-profits, community organisations and Indigenous groups operating in the relevant regions. Prospective applicants should ensure they understand eligibility requirements, project criteria, and how their proposal aligns with the fund’s intent: to deliver meaningful, local impact.
For community-based organisations seeking to enhance their infrastructure, support vulnerable residents, promote energy safety or strengthen social connection in regional Queensland, the Ergon Energy Community Fund represents a timely and accessible funding pathway. By leveraging the opportunity, these groups can secure support to deliver enduring benefits for their local people and places.
