than $13,700,000 of grants in Round 99.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding enables community groups to deliver community projects that might otherwise be out of reach without the assistance of the government\u2019s Gambling Community Benefit Fund,&#8221; Mrs D&#8217;Ath said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a $13.7 million acknowledgement of the vital role of these organisations play in Queensland communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mrs D&#8217;Ath said Round 101 of the GCBF was now open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019ve applied before or are applying for the first time, we encourage not-for-profit community groups from all sectors to apply for a grant, with funding between $500 and $35,000 on offer,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese grants could significantly contribute to the success of an eligible start-up, social enterprise, or a more established community organisation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The GCBF, which is part of the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation, is Queensland\u2019s largest one-off grants program, distributing approximately $55 million annually to communities statewide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Round 101 closes on May 31.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More information is available <a
