21 Queensland football clubs and organisations have been approved for over $600,000 in funding in Round 103 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.

Ten of these community organisations received the maximum funding of $35,000 in the latest round of funding.
Queensland’s largest one-off community grants program, the Gambling Community Benefit Fund allows not-for-profit community groups to apply for grants from $500 to $35,000 to enhance their capacity to provide services and leisure activities.
Round 105 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund is now open for applications, and will close at 11:59pm on 30 April 2020.
