What is ClubGRANTS?

The scheme enables registered clubs with gaming machine profits over $1 million to apply for a tax rebate (of 1.85%). The tax rebate is used to provide grants to not-for-profit community organisations for community projects. The Scheme is guided by the Gaming Machine Tax Act 2001.
Participating clubs in the Cumberland Local Government Area (LGA) include:
- Auburn Soccer Sports Club
- Auburn Tennis Club
- DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club
- Granville Diggers
- Guildford Leagues
- Club Merrylands Bowling
- Merrylands RSL
- Wenty Leagues
Who can apply?
The Clubs for Cumberland Scheme aims to support local projects and services that assist people within the Cumberland Local Government Area (LGA). Funded projects must be in the areas of Community Welfare and Social Services, Community Development, Community Health Services and Employment Assistance Activities.
Applications are open to schools, local Government and non-profit community based, incorporated organisations with an Australian Business Number (ABN). Organisations without an ABN must be sponsored by an incorporated organisation.
