The Brisbane Airport Community Giving Fund provides cash grants to community groups, organisations and schools working hard to make our city and Queensland a better place. Twice a year, BAC calls for applications to provide grants for projects that provide health and wellbeing, safety, sport, education and environment programs, or other community benefits and initiatives.
Thank you to all the schools, community organisations and community groups that applied for April 2022 round. We are always blown away by the work you are doing in our community.
Since the launch of the Community Giving Fund in 2015, BAC has donated nearly $300,000 to help smaller charities continue the fantastic work they do within the community. In addition, BAC distributes more than $1 million in sponsorship support to a wide range of community-focused organisations each year.
