The International RiverFoundation in partnership with Ipswich City Council launched the Bremer River Fund in April 2010. The launch of the fund was an exciting opportunity to celebrate the outcomes of the Bremer River Forum that showed the passion
and commitment of 200 delegates in working towards a brighter future for the Bremer River and its catchment. The establishment of the Bremer River Fund signified the next stage in the restoration of the Bremer River.

Since its inception the Bremer River Fund has been successful in attracting over half a million dollars in additional funding for projects and at least as much in-kind and volunteer support with over 10,000 volunteer hours worked in efforts to restore and protect the Bremer River
and its tributaries. The BRF works in collaboration with partners such as Ipswich City Council and the International Riverfoundation to ensure schools, Indigenous peoples, disadvantaged groups and other corporates have an opportunity to contribute to the success of these programs. Additionally, the Queensland government continues to see the BRF as an excellent vehicle for river restoration and community engagement as the BRF has been awarded five grants over the last seven years.

Some projects that have been managed and facilited by the Bremer River Fund include the Lorikeet Street Reserve, Tite Family Park and Upper Sandy Creek. In 2014, one of the Bremer River Fund projects was nominated for a prestigious Healthy Waterways Award.
In 2017, the Bremer River Fund continues from strength to strength, and is actively supporting the Bremer River Network with administrative assistance and project funding and support where possible.
