About
Community groups have a fresh opportunity to access funding that makes a real difference to people affected by gambling harm across Latrobe City. The Latrobe City Community Gaming Support Fund application round is now open, and local organisations are encouraged to apply.
The fund is administered by Latrobe City Council and is designed to support community programs and events that help connect and strengthen residents, particularly those impacted by gambling-related harm. It reflects the council's ongoing commitment to community wellbeing and social inclusion.
Successful applicants will be able to deliver initiatives that bring people together, build resilience, and address the social impacts of gambling in tangible, community-led ways. An information session is being held to help prospective applicants understand the process and what kinds of projects are supported.
For Latrobe City, this fund represents an important mechanism for channelling gaming revenue back into grassroots community benefit, empowering local organisations to lead meaningful change. It supports the region's broader goals of social connection and harm reduction.
The information session takes place on 13 August 2026 from 3pm to 4pm. Applications close at midnight on 23 August 2026. Visit the Eventbrite link in the original post or the Latrobe City Council website for full details and to register for the session.
