Community Benefit Fund
The Community Benefit Fund was established to provide funding support for research and amelioration programs concerned with problem gambling, as well as assistance for general community development and improvement purposes. The Fund receives money from levies imposed on the operation of electronic gaming machines operated by licensed hotels throughout the Northern Territory.

Grants, generally for amounts up to $5000, are available from the Fund to approved non-profit Territory-based organisations to help them in the provisions of services that benefit the community. Funds are distributed on a biannual basis and may be applied to approved activities which do not fit within other government funding programs, but have the potential to improve the well being and lifestyle of Territorians.
