Queensland organisations are encouraged to apply for the Queensland Government's 2027 Celebrating Reconciliation Grants Program, with $100,000 available to support local activities that bring people together and advance reconciliation.

The grants provide funding of $2,500 per organisation for events and activities delivered during 2027 National Reconciliation Week, which runs annually from 27 May to 3 June.

National Reconciliation Week encourages Australians to reflect on our shared history and take meaningful action towards reconciliation. The week spans two significant milestones – the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum on 27 May and Mabo Day on 3 June, commemorating the landmark 1992 High Court Mabo decision.

Funding is available for a range of community based and community driven initiatives, including yarning circles, community gatherings, storytelling events, workshops and other events that promote understanding, respect and stronger relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Queenslanders.

The grants support community-led initiatives that strengthen cultural connections and promote inclusion and contribute to reconciliation across Queensland.

Eligible applicants must be based in Queensland and the event delivered in Queensland. Applications close on 18 December 2026.
