Provider: Department of Justice and Attorney General

Amount: $0-$25,000

Closing Date: 31 August 2013

Objective: The Queensland Government established the Reef Hotel Casino Community Benefit Fund (RHCCBF) in 1996 to provide funding to community groups in Far North Queensland.

The RHCCBF received money from taxes on casinos. It distributes these funds to not-for-profit community groups on a bi-annual basis. The RHCCBF is just one way the government returns taxes from gambling activities and plays an important role in ensuring,on balance, the whole State benefits from gambling in Queensland.

One off grants of up to $15,000 are allocated to approved not-for-profit organisations to help provide community services or activities that benefit the community. These grants are not intended to replace existing sources of support for these organisations.
