Bravus Backs Grassroots Groups With 2025 Community Grants

Grassroots changemakers across regional Queensland are being invited to put their hand up, with Bravus Mining and Resources opening applications for its 2025 Community Partnership Program. The initiative offers grants to not-for-profits and local groups driving positive change in their communities.

Bravus Mining and Resources Head of Community Kate Campbell said the Community Partnership Program was a fundamental part of the business and its Carmichael mine near Clermont in central Queensland.

“We’re proud to operate in regional Queensland and always seek to back our local communities and the things that are important to the 1,200 workers at our Carmichael mine,” Ms Campbell said.

“Our Community Partnership Program and the local charities and activities it funds is one of the ways we add to community vibrancy, on top of the economic value of the jobs we support and the opportunities we create for businesses.

“Round two of the 2025 program is now open with a total of $25,000 available to not-for-profit businesses, groups, and associations across central and north Queensland to pay for practical things like a first aid kit for a sports team, gardening tools for a community garden, or equipment to help care for local wildlife.

“If your local group has a great community initiative, we encourage you to jump onto our website, look at the guidelines and criteria and, if you qualify, put in an application.”

Ms Campbell also congratulated the Fitzroy River Fish Stocking Association, the Mackay Junior Motocross Club, and the Charters Towers Rodeo Association who were awarded a grant in round one of the program.

"We’re now in the seventh year of the Community Partnership Program and the quality of the applications we receive continues to show the rich fabric of life in regional Queensland," she said.

"We’re excited about the opportunities this new round of grants brings and how we can support some
outstanding projects that will make a real difference to the places our people call home.”

Mackay Junior Motorcross received $7,500 to supply and install nine flag marshal signalling point shade structures at the track.
