Grants for Community Organisations

The 2023-24 Community Support Fund (CSF) Grants Program is primarily funded through a percentage of the profits of electronic gaming machines (EGMs or pokies) in Tasmanian hotels, clubs and casinos. The CSF is described in Section 151A of the Gaming Control Act 1993.

In line with the Regulations, the CSF Grants Program provides opportunities for community organisations to apply for funding for projects or equipment that support preventing and reducing gambling harm in their communities.

Projects funded through previous Community Support Levy (CSL) Grants Rounds can be viewed at the Previous Recipients page.
