$60M for community grants
Somerset and Moreton Bay organisations and not-for-profit groups are being encouraged to apply for The Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF).
The Gambling Community Benefit Fund is Queensland’s largest one-off community grants program and is set to open its funding rounds for 2025, with up to $60 million available to support not-for-profit community groups across the state.
“These grants allow profits from gambling to be invested back into grassroots services and facilities that benefit people from all walks of life in the local community,” Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said.
“These organisations work tirelessly for their particular cause and provide important services to our local communities.
“The State Government supports the valuable work being done by not-for-profit organisations and recognises the significant and vital contributions they make to the State.
“The program aims to empower community groups to continue their important work and enhance the lives of Queenslanders.”
For 2025, the GCBF will have three distinct funding rounds:
Round 123: $35,000 standard grant round – closing 28 February 2025
Round 124: $100,000 super round – closing 30 June 2025
Round 125: $35,000 standard grant round – closing 31 October 2025
Organisations interested in applying should review the GCBF eligibility guidelines and application instructions to ensure their submission aligns with the program’s requirements.
