ClubGRANTS was established in 1998 to ensure registered clubs in NSW with profits over $1 million contribute financial or in-kind support to local community services, programs, and projects. The scheme is guided by the Gaming Machine Tax Act 2001.
Local organisations and community groups can apply for funding under the scheme.
Participating clubs in Blacktown City include:

Funded projects must be in the areas of:
-
community welfare and social services

community health services
-
employment assistance activities (including social enterprises).
