Community Grants Program
Supporting Our Local Community
At The Tin Shed Port Douglas, giving back is at the heart of what we do. Our Community Grants Program supports local clubs, schools, and community groups across the Douglas Shire, helping fund projects that make a real difference. Every meal, drink, and visit to The Tin Shed helps contribute to these grants, meaning when you support us, you’re supporting the wider community too.
