Grants can be a great source of money for club development. There are a large range of grants from as little as a few hundred to many thousands. Some have a one requirement for the club to match the grant others just an acquittal. The treasurer to help support clubs will post here Grant names and opening date, it will not be exhaustive and won't cover Local Government grants. The Branch Treasure has also offered to review club submissions and offer support for clubs with suggestions if asked.

Gambling Community Benefit Fund - Round 115
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 GCBF funding helps these groups to provide services, leisure activities and opportunities for Queensland communities.
The Gambling Community Benefit Committee have implemented funding priorities and other determining factors to ensure they consistently and fairly provide funding recommendations to the Minister that support the objectives of the fund.
Your application will be sorted by funding priority depending on the items you request funding for. You should review and consider these priorities and determining factors when planning and submitting your application.
Priorities
Applications are prioritised by the committee in this order, where 1 has the highest priority:
-
Items/facilities directly affected, damaged or destroyed by a declared natural disaster in the last 2 years
-
Equipment or facility improvements
-
Buses, cars, caravans, boats, tractors, trailers, large mowers, motorbikes and similar items
-
Community events, training, workshops, festivals, publications and website development
-
Organisations that have received more than $15,000 from the GCBF within the last 2 years

Our Community Fund
Extract from Grant Portal
We’d love to hear about new ideas that prepare the community for weather events, assist recovery from impacts caused by disasters including mental health and wellbeing, infrastructure and the environment or creating safeguards against future events.
All successful applicants will have their project profiled on our fund recipients webpage, so that the whole community can view the details.
And this year, a People’s Choice bonus is up for grabs, giving grant recipients the opportunity to receive an additional $5,000 in funding!
We're committed to supporting not-for-profit organisations and groups who are working hard to provide lasting benefits to our local communities. It’s all about supporting organisations that, like us, work to make their communities a better place to live.
Up to $10,000 Closes 18th November
