GCBF Grants of up to $100,000 available
Community groups and not-for-profit organisations can now apply for super-sized grants of up to $100,000 in the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF).
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the GCBF and a total of $30 million has been made available.
This is the largest pool of funding available since the Disaster Recovery Round in 2022.
Since its inception in 1994, the GCBF – the state’s largest one-off grants program - has provided more than $1.173 billion to almost 70,000 community organisations across Queensland.
Many organisations in the Clifton district have been successful over the years in securing GCBF grants.
The last round of grants, Round 199, will see the Sister Kenny Memorial Project Committee Incorporated, based at Nobby, receive $10,000 to install a solar system.
The 30th Anniversary Super Round will close on April 30.
While the latest GCBF round is not a stand alone Disaster Recovery Round, those community groups impacted by extreme weather over the summer period are encouraged to apply.
Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath said the massive $30 million Super Round could not have come at a better time with many organisations continuing to rebuild following a summer of natural disasters, or feeling the pinch as we grapple with cost-of-living.
