Stronger Organisations and Clubs: Strategic, Business & Financial Planning
Free discussion with a grants specialist
AQIA Members
The funding and grants maze can sometimes seem confusing or overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. All organisations and clubs need financial support for facilities, infrastructure and equipment in order to service their participants, volunteers, supporters and staff. Grants are available, but are generally given for specific programs or projects, not for operating costs.
Miscellaneous

AQIA Safe Return to Play Guide
The free e-Learning course covers important information such as COVID Safety Officer training and the Queensland Government’s Return to Play guide.
Your organisation or club can become COVID-safe ready and ensure best practice community health and hygiene is in place as COVID restrictions ease.
