What QLDC Community Fund says you need:

Common things funders ask for, worth having ready:

What exactly is the money for, and when will you spend it?
How much do you need, and do you have quotes under three months old?
Who benefits, and how many people?
Your legal name, registration number and bank account in the group's name.
A committee or board decision approving the application (some funders want a signed resolution).
Your latest financial statements or annual return.
Other funders you have applied to for the same thing.
