Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund

Provider:
Jupiters Gold Coast
Details:

The Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund was created as part of that legislation, its role being to administer the community benefit levy. The Fund is administered by seven Trustees who are appointed by the Government as representatives of the wider community.

The Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund distributes funds by way of grants to non profit community organisations for projects which are of benefit to the community at large. The Fund accepts applications from eligible organisations within its jurisdiction, which extends from the Queensland/NSW border to the northern boundaries of the Central Queensland Shires of Boulia, Winton, Aramac, Belyando and Broadsound.

Each year, the Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund allocates several million dollars to charities and community groups. Projects funded are as diverse as assisting disadvantaged youth assimilate back into the community to providing emergency vehicles for rural fire brigades and the State Emergency Service.

Jupiters Gold Coast recognises the important role that the organisation plays in the local community and we are committed to continuing the company's record as patron of many charity, cultural, and community activities in the South East Queensland region. However due to the large number of proposals we receive each week, it unfortunately makes it difficult for us to accept every idea presented to us. Hence, we have outlined below a series of guidelines to help you submit a proposal that meets our needs.

In general
These are the general criteria by which we initially assess the proposals:

We will consider proposals in all categories except sponsorship of individuals who are not competing at an elite or international level;
We prefer to support local or Gold Coast regional events;
We generally require a minimum of six months lead-time;
Logo exposure is not the primary goal of sponsorship, it is considered a bonus;
We prefer to invest in sponsorships that carry out audience research during and/or after the event, including sponsor questions and provide the results of the research to Jupiters Gold Coast.
Both Jupiters Gold Coast and Treasury Brisbane contribute monies to the Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund. The aim of this organisation is to assist local charities to purchase capital items necessary to run their day to day business.
