RACQ Foundation helps Queensland community groups, charities, organisations, First Nations Councils and clubs impacted by natural disasters.

This includes both recovery grants and resilience-based project grants which may relate to physical, nature-based and social solutions.

   • a small to medium community organisation; 
   • a charity or other organisation with a charitable purpose; or
