Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund
The Queensland Government established the Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund (JCCBF) in 1987 to provide funding to community groups in Queensland.
The JCCBF receives money from taxes on casinos. It distributes these funds to not-for-profit community groups on a quarterly basis. The JCCBF is just one way the Government returns taxes from gambling activities. In redistributing gambling taxes through its grants program, the JCCBF plays an important role in ensuring, on balance, the whole State benefits from gambling in Queensland.
How much can I apply for?
One-off grants of up to $150,000 are allocated to approved not-for-profit organisations to help them provide community services or activities that benefit the community. These grants are not intended to replace existing sources of support for these organisations.
Who can apply?
Applications must be from Queensland-based organisations, located within the geographical jurisdiction from the Queensland and New South Wales border, to the northern boundaries of Boulia, Winton, Barcaldine and Isaac.
Funding Rounds
The JCCBF has four annual funding rounds. The closing dates for applications are 28 February, 31 May, 31 August and 30 November.
