Major Community Grants

Up to $200,000 is available to help organisations implement community projects.

Overview

The Community Benefit Fund (CBF) Major Community Grants program was established to provide funding support for community development and improvement purposes.

The funds are derived from the CBF levy collected from the operation of electronic gaming machines in SKYCITY Casino, Lasseters Casino and licensed hotels.

Funding

The maximum grant available for each project is $200 000. The amount of funding for individual projects will be governed by budget availability and the relative merit of applications. There is no guarantee of ongoing funding.

Eligibility

Applicants for CBF grants must be non-profit, Territory-based community organisations.

Organisations seeking funds must be incorporated or arrange for an incorporated body to act as a sponsor.

If an organisation is not incorporated, the application must be sponsored by an incorporated body which is prepared to accept legal and financial responsibility for the grant. If you are unable to arrange a suitable sponsor, you may seek exemption from incorporation status by applying to the minister in the application process.

Each organisation or sponsor must be:

incorporated under the Associations Act
incorporated with non-profit objectives under Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth)
incorporated under the Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976 (Commonwealth)
an organisation with non-profit objectives incorporated by any other Act of the Parliament, or
an organisation approved by the minister as exempt from incorporation requirements.

Regional councils are eligible to apply.

Timing

Applications close 31 May 2016.
