The Crisafulli Government has opened applications for the next round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, with not-for-profit groups across the State encouraged to apply for up to $35,000 in funding. 

The Gambling Community Benefit Fund is Queensland’s largest one-off community grants program, with organisations able to apply for funding to support a range of projects, including: 

• Upgrading and renovating community facilities
• Installing solar systems and shade sails
• Buying equipment and delivering training
• Holding community events 

Applications for Round 125 will close at midnight on 31 October 2025. 

This year, the Gambling Community Benefit Fund will provide approximately $60 million for local community initiatives, including the $100,000 Super Round, which saw record interest from across the State. 

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Integrity Deb Frecklington said the Gambling Community Benefit Fund had become a funding lifeline for dedicated not-for-profit groups. 

“Whether it’s a P&C, a footy club, or local charity, these groups are at the heart of so many cities and towns - and Gambling Community Benefit Fund grants often go a long way to support them,” the Attorney-General said. 

“The Crisafulli Government is a government for the whole of Queensland and I encourage groups across the State to apply for funding, to help deliver projects and activities that are important to their community. 

“I look forward to congratulating the successful recipients in Round 125 and sharing their good news stories.”
