Federal Government.
Rather than regular grants, the Federal Government funds one-off AGL Action Rescue projects. A $500,000 grant through the Regional Partnerships program helped us move to a purpose built hanger at the Sunshine Coast Airport.
State Government.
The QLD State Government provides an annual grant through the Department of Emergency Services.
Local Government.
The shire councils throughout our area continue to acknowledge the contribution that we make through annual grants and consideration of specific requests for funding through arrangements such as community assistance schemes.
Community based organisations.
Local community service organisations, sporting clubs and smaller groups are also great contributors. The extent of their support is truly gratifying. To mention a few:
- Apex Club of Alexandra Headland
- Rotary, Lions, Lionesses, Probus and other service clubs
- CRISIS groups of Murgon and Kingaroy
- Women in Development, Sunshine Coast
- Bundaberg Quota International
Commercial Organisations.
Many businesses, small and large, contribute to AGL Action Rescue Helicopter through a variety of ways such as running charity events, supporting a payroll deduction program or through donating goods and services.
