The new Gambling Community Benefit Fund’s annual “super round” is now open for not-for-profit and community groups to apply for funding.
Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said unlike other rounds of the grants program that have grants of up to $35,000 on offer, this “super round” is providing grants of up to $100,000 to go towards projects that benefit local communities across the State.
“I want our community organisations to think big and apply for large projects that will make a real difference in their communities,” Minister Fentiman said.
“Already our grants have supported local sporting clubs in regional areas to build new facilities, domestic violence support services to reach more women and families and PCYCs to upgrade equipment.
“Local councils can also apply for a GCBF grant, either for themselves or as a sponsor of a community group in their local government area.
“In the past we have seen them apply for a variety of projects from children’s playgrounds and sporting field upgrades to art installations and public monuments.”
In 2022, there will be four rounds of GCBF funding – one round offering grants from $500 to $100,000 and the other three rounds offering grants from $500 to $35,000.
