Community Marquees
As proud Central Queenslanders, our focus is on assisting worthy local not-for-profit groups and initiatives to bring their worthwhile projects or events to life.
Through our Community Marquee program we aim to provide a platform for community groups to access the resources they need.
Our application process ensures a straightforward approach to securing support and elevating your project or event.
We ask that any not-for-profit organisations seeking marquees for a project or event, apply through our Community Marquee program. Each request is assessed individually, based on community need, application merit and whether the application has met the selection criteria.
Community Grant Recipients [just a few!]
Caribeae Swimming Club
Over 200 competitors from 16 local and regional Queensland swimming clubs made a splash at the 2022 Beef City meet in October. Highlights from the program included Speed Machine finals, where swimmers collected hard-earned cash in the 50 metre sprint event.
The highly entertaining Top Gun challenge was the last individual event on the program, where the top 8 overall fastest male and female swimmers compete in a knockout style sprint in 4 x 50 metre back-to-back races. The slowest two swimmers are eliminated until only two remain, with the winner crowned “Top Gun”.
Capella State High School P&C Association
Capella State High School P&C Association was one of the successful applicants for the round nine Community Grants Program.
Capella State High School is working to grow young people’s health and well-being through expanding sport offerings at the school with the Volleyball Excellence Program. This grant will enable the school to deliver the program with quality resources. An electronic scoreboard to share scores as opposed to flipping cards on a table is just one example! The new equipment is on order and will arrive for use next term!
Fitzroy Frogs Triathlon Club
The Capricornian Bank are thrilled to announce the signing of a three year corporate partnership with The Fitzroy Frogs who were initially recipients of a Community Grant in 2020.
As Major Sponsor of the event for the second year in a row, the aptly named ‘The Capricornian Bank Rocky Tri’ is a Women’s and Under 15’s endurance multisport race, consisting of swimming, cycling, and running.
Michelle Williamson, The Fitzroy Frogs event coordinator said the event is about empowering participants in a supportive and all-inclusive environment.
