First Nations Solidarity Fund

Our First Nations Solidarity Fund recognises that QCC and our members have benefited - and continue to benefit - from unjust and unauthorised transfers of wealth since colonisation.

We will use this fund to disburse money to First Nations communities, organisations, groups, and individuals to alleviate the ongoing economic disparity between non-Indigenous and Indigenous communities.

2025/26 funding now fully allocated

QCC wishes to advise that the Solidarity Fund for the 2025/26 financial year has now been fully allocated, and regrettably, we are unable to accept further requests at this time.

Applications submitted prior to the 2026/27 financial year are welcome and will be carefully considered when the new funding period opens. We sincerely thank you for your understanding and ongoing engagement with our work.

What it's for

The Fund exists for the benefit of First Nations communities, individuals, companies, and organisations.

Possible recipients may include:

• First Nations-led state or national advocacy organisations
• Grassroots groups with a focus on issues of social justice, environmental justice, and land rights
• Indigenous-led event organisers, or
• First Nations individuals with a specific need, such as
  • Sorry Business
  • Funerals
  • Legal fees

The above are examples only - funding may be granted to First Nations groups or individuals for other purposes.

How to apply

There will be no formal application process for the Fund. We will ask for the purpose of the funding, the amount requested, and who it should be transferred to. Applicants may receive further contact from Queensland Conservation Council to discuss their application.
