Seventeen South Burnett community organisations will share in $306,569 in grants from the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.<\/p>\n

Successful applicants for Round 92 of the fund’s grants program were announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows hard on the heels of Round 91 winners, who were announced in mid-May.<\/p>\n

In that Round, 19 South Burnett community groups shared $353,000 in grants.<\/p>\n

The Gambling Community Benefit Fund is a state-wide government funding program which collects revenue generated by gambling and channels it into not-for-profit organisations.<\/p>\n

The Fund distributes an average of $53 million each year.<\/p>\n

Groups can apply online<\/a><\/strong> for grants of up to $35,000 (inclusive of GST) on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n

In April this year, Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath announced that the priority for the next four rounds of funding would be to assist areas impacted by Tropical Cyclone Debbie.<\/p>\n

The rounds this will apply to are Round 92, which closed on February 28; Round 93, which closed on May 31; and rounds 94 and 95.<\/p>\n

The successful Round 92 applicants were:<\/strong><\/p>\n
