Applications must be submitted online via SmartyGrants, and can be made for funding up to a maximum of $5000.
Mayor Tracy Dobie said in 2015/16 more than 20 applicants shared in $30,000 worth of Community Support Program funding.
"We are excited to be able to offer $30,000 in funding again this financial year to be shared across our dedicated Southern Downs community organisations, and I encourage those seeking assistance for their important services to get on board and complete an application,” Cr Dobie said.
"Through its grant and funding programs, council recognises the valuable projects and initiatives that local community groups and clubs run in our region that need a helping hand.
