What it funds

• Sports, arts, education, health, infrastructure, wellbeing and projects that build connection, pride and resilience
• Purposes that align with the authorised purposes and the Gambling Act 2003

What it will not fund

• Retrospective applications or payments
• Catering expenses
• Bar related expenses
• Venue hire or accommodation at any ILT venue with gaming machines
• Multi-year grants
• Fundraising expenses including raffle prizes or prize money
• Uniform items not retained by the club
• Sport grants to anyone other than amateur sporting groups

Good to know

Do not pay for anything before approval, as retrospective costs are not funded. Applications are online and need a recent committee minute resolution.

Always open for applications, assessed at board meetings roughly monthly; each meeting has an application close-off date.

Checklist

What ILT Foundation says you need:

• Not-for-profit organisation operating for the benefit of the community
• Operate within the ILT boundary or show direct community benefit to the area
• Completed accountability for previous funding
• Recent minute resolution with the application
• Apply online through the grants portal

Common things funders ask for, worth having ready:

• What exactly is the money for, and when will you spend it?
• How much do you need, and do you have quotes under three months old?
• Who benefits, and how many people?
• Your legal name, registration number and bank account in the group's name.
• A committee or board decision approving the application (some funders want a signed resolution).
• Your latest financial statements or annual return.
• Other funders you have applied to for the same thing.
