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.

2. $100,000 disaster recovery round for applicants affected by natural disasters and $35,000 available for all other applications—closes 15 July (combines 31 May and 31 August rounds)
3. $35,000 standard grant round—closes 31 October.
