In 2010, licensed Clubs in the Ashfield municipality allocated funds of $285,000 to local non-profit, community groups for projects and services that support local disadvantaged communities. If you are a local, non-profit organisation you can apply for funding to help support your community program or activity. This scheme is a shared State Government - Club Industry program, funded by a 1.5% gaming machine tax rebate provided by the State Government to those registered clubs with gaming machine profits in excess of $1 million per annum. Licensed clubs in our community are supporting a range of community projects through this program and Ashfield Council is assisting them through the grants Committee to make better decisions about their allocations.
