Welcome to the City of Moreton Bay's online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.

This application can be started at anytime. Applications will progress to assessment when submitted by midnight on the round closing dates below. Applicants will be notified of the outcome approximately 6 weeks after these dates. Applications not submitted by the final 2024/25 closing date will be invalid.

You will need to refer to the Community Grants Program Guidelines while completing this form.

City of Moreton Bay cannot accept applications from organisations that have overdue acquittals or debts with Council. Before continuing this application, it is important to check your organisation's SmartyGrants User Account, and any other SmartyGrants accounts connected with your organisation, to ensure there are no overdue acquittals.

Supporting documents needed for this application (further details about each of these is in the Application Form):

• Current certificate of currency for $20M public liability insurance.
• Most recent audited or verified financial statements.
• Quotes for expenditure items. Must be provided by a supplier that can issue a receipt for their goods/ services.
• Letter of support from the auspice organisation (if being auspiced).
• Council permit or approval (for public events on private or public land) - if required by Council.
• Council approval letter (for native vegetation or wildlife habitat projects on Council land).
• Letters of support (optional). Written testimonials that provide support to the proposed project. Must be dated and include the contact details of the author.

Supporting documents: Please ensure they are clearly labelled with "Document name - Organisation name". For example: Audited Financials - Lawnton Jive Assoc. Files can be up to 25MB each, however we recommend keeping them under 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time. When uploading multiple documents, wait for each file to upload before trying to attach another file.

Completing an application in a group or team: A number of people can work on an application using the same log-in details. We strongly recommend that you use a shared email address, like info@yourcompany.org.au. But make sure only one person is working on an application at a time. If two people are working on the same form at the same time, it will only save the progress of one person and someone may lose some work.

Submitting your application: You are strongly encouraged to submit your completed application before the designated closing date. This is to allow sufficient time to review any incomplete or incorrectly formatted answers. There is a review and submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors. Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

Once submitted you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your application attached. This will be sent to the email address registered on the SmartyGrants user account. If you do not receive this confirmation email, you should presume that your application has not been submitted. Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk folder.
