Putting Queensland Kids First (PQKF) is the Queensland Government’s plan to invest in the future of Queensland children and families to give them the best start and a lifetime of opportunities.
The $15 million PQKF Partnership Fund is designed to facilitate stronger partnerships with NGOs and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations, investing in their expertise to design and deliver supports which respond to the unique needs of families and local communities. This approach reflects strong community feedback and an acknowledgement that genuine community co-design of solutions is necessary to support Queensland’s commitments under Closing the Gap.
The PQKF Partnership Fund will administer grants for the delivery of connected and community-led projects, programs and services that respond to the needs and aspirations of children and their families, and in doing so support those children and their families in building positive and healthy pathways for life.
Round One of the Putting Queensland Kids First Partnership Fund is now open and provides the opportunity for funding of between $500,000 and $1.5 million, from a total pool of $5 million.
PQKF Partnership Fund Round One funding will be awarded through a competitive application assessment process, involving two stages:
- Expression of Interest (mandatory for all interested applicants).
- Detailed Application (invitation only process).
Expressions of Interest close at 5pm Friday, 25 October 2024 and all submissions must be lodged via SmartyGrants.
Applicants will be notified in writing of the assessment outcome of their projects and those with shortlisted projects will be invited to submit a Detailed Application for further consideration.
