Queensland Funding Opportunities

Queensland Funding opportunities – where to find grants that will can help you digitise your collection

Often organisations need some financial assistance to help them get started, especially with digitisation projects and providing digital access to their digitised works. This listing of funding opportunities within Queensland is not a complete list, but is a starting point. It includes funding available at all levels of government and is aimed at not-for-profit organisations.

You can find all of this information in a pdf here: Queensland_Funding_opportunities.pdf
