The region’s not-for-profit community groups could climb to new heights thanks to the 2025 Qantas Regional Grants Program.

The program, first launched in 2019, has supported 80 organisations across Australia, including organisations that have directly benefitted the Tamworth electorate.

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said Qantas was making $2 million available to community groups across Australia, and he wanted the local community to get their fair share.

“I’m always keen to help promote and support any grant that could benefit our regional and rural communities,” Mr Anderson said.

“We deserve to get our fair share of funding, and this grant is an opportunity for our community groups and not-for-profits to tap into another stream of funding.

“Recent recipients of this funding include the Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council who received funding in last year’s round of the program to run an educational program for local aboriginal students.

“If any local groups have a project that is worthy of this funding, I encourage them to get their applications in before the deadline of the 10^th of May 2025.”

Grants can include a combination of cash, marketing support and flights according to the specific needs of each group.

Community groups and not-for-profits can access additional information on the Qantas Regional Grant application form website at https://www.qantas.com/au/en/about-us/our-company/in-the-community/qantas-regional-grants/application-form.html
