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.

The GCBF will have multiple funding rounds in 2026:

Round 126 – $35,000 standard grant round — these grants have closed.
R126 was open from 12 January 2026 and closed on 28 February 2026. Successful applicants will be notified in July 2026.
The dates for the remaining GCBF rounds in 2026 are yet to be finalised.
