Member for Mirani, Glen Kelly MP, is calling for local community groups in the electorate of Mirani to apply for the Community Gambling Benefit Fund’s 123rd round of funding with applications open until 28 February 2025.
The Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF) is Queensland’s largest one-off community grants program and distributes approximately $60 million each year to not-for-profit community groups.
The Gambling Community Benefit Fund funding helps these groups to provide services, leisure activities and opportunities for Queensland communities.
“This round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund gives community groups the opportunity to receive grants of up to $35,000 to help fund different sorts of activities and investments,” Mr Kelly said.
“Funding is available for a variety of needs, including funding for community events and training, equipment (such as medical supplies), facility upgrades, machinery, printing and publications, marketing, solar improvements, vehicles, as well as workshops and conferences.”
“This fund helps support our community groups that support us, and the most recent recipients in Mirani have been Bajool School of Arts for an upgrade to their hall, the Marlborough and District Lions Club to purchase a BBQ Trailer, Oakenden State School P&C for canteen equipment, and Sarina Saints Football Club to purchase a new mower.”
“I want to see our community groups taking advantage of these grants and obtaining the funding they need to help improve what they have to offer, and the best way to do this is making sure as many groups know about it as possible.”
All applicants require 3 referees as part of their proposals, and Glen Kelly MP is willing to offer a letter of support for eligible community organisations for their applications.
