Amateur boxing organisation among recipients of Queensland Government funding

470 Queensland community and not-for-profit groups will share in more than $11 million under the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Funding.

Among the successful organisations to receive a grant for a variety of projects is the Sunstate Amateur Boxing in Townsville for the purchase of items including a boxing ring.

Other successful organisations to receive grant funding include:

• Currumbin Surf Life Saving Club, Gold Coast - $35,000 to construct change room facilities to cater for people with a disability

• The Indigenous Marathon Foundation, Cairns - $24,010 to purchase first aid kits and defibrillators for their Running and Walking (RAW) program

QLD Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman enthused “It’s fantastic to see these grants are going to a diverse range of organisations across every corner of our State, where they can provide a real benefit to their local communities.”

In 2023, four funding rounds will be available through the GCBF program, including Round 117, which will open for submissions in April.
