Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2008/09 1

1. Chair’s Report to the Minister Hon Jennifer Rankine MP Minister for Families and Communities Level 2, 45 Pirie St ADELAIDE SA 5000 Dear Minister On behalf of the Board of the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund (Community Benefit SA), I am very pleased to present the Annual Report for the period 2008/09. The Community Benefit SA (CBSA) program has now been operating for 13 years and has the remarkable record of funding: • 4,337 one-off projects for $42.4 million to over 850 different community service agencies • 12 Strategic Special Grants for $2.1 million over three years from 2000/01 to 2002/03 • 5 two year projects for $1.4 million in 2008 and 2009 to support vulnerable families in

high need regions under the Special Family Support Grants program ; a third year may be funded in 2010 depending on the success of the projects.

In supporting community based projects CBSA contributes significantly to meeting the objectives of the South Australian Strategic Plan (SASP). The Board has specifically identified the following SASP targets as being directly relevant to the Fund – T2.7 Psychological Wellbeing, T5.6 Volunteering, T5.7 Aboriginal leadership, T5.8 Multiculturalism, T6.4 Early Childhood – Australian Early Development Index, T6.5 Economic Disadvantage, and T6.10 Housing for people with disabilities. In 2008/09 organisations were quick to respond to the arrival of the Global Financial Crisis and as a result 19 projects were funded for $210,000 to increase the capacity of emergency relief services and op shops to meet basic needs. This has complemented the important initiative from the Commonwealth Government which doubled its funding to the Emergency Relief program to provide direct assistance for those most in need.

2 Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2008/09

The Board never ceases to be amazed at the ingenuity of the non government community service sector in its capacity to continue to provide and develop cost efficient and effective services and programs which assist the most disadvantaged individuals, families and communities across South Australia. The non government sector is also exceptional in forming links with key partners from other human service sectors and business to value-add to most projects funded by Community Benefit SA. We estimated that community organisations add at least one dollar of value for every dollar invested through CBSA funding. The diversity and creativity of responses to emerging needs shows a great deal of initiative and lateral thinking and continues to build on the essential services already being provided by non government organisations. Community organisations utilise a wide range of innovative models to assist people to address disadvantage and prevent or reverse the impacts of poverty. These included - community and performing arts; adventure and recreational programs; playgrounds, playgroups and fun camps for children; programs to improve parenting and homemaking for families; respite for carers; day option activities, supported employment and accommodation programs for people with disabilities; intergenerational and culturally appropriate activities for Aboriginal people, courses on managing conflict, anger, grief and stress; mentoring and peer support; strategies to support young people to return to school or complete post-school training qualifications; community gardens; community sheds with workshop equipment; social enterprises which generate some revenue from products made; and a myriad of other initiatives. In 2008/09, Funding Rounds 26 and 27 were conducted and a total of 298 one-off projects to the value of $3.2m were approved by the Board. The following special needs groups were given priority and as a result received the majority of the funding:

• 70 projects were approved for $988,000 to assist Aboriginal people • 98 projects were approved for $994,000 to assist people with disabilities • 84 projects were approved for $880,000 to assist people from multicultural

communities, including 29 projects for $341,000 for refugees • 160 projects were approved for $1,749,000 assist disadvantaged families • 72 projects were approved for $883,000 to assist disadvantaged young people • 23 projects were approved for $254,000 to provide support to carers • Rural regions received $1,277,000 or 39% of all funds

Multiple counting applies to the above list as many clients fall under more than one disadvantaged group.


I wish to commend our four Board Members - Chris Birch, Shellie Jones, Tisha Ashworth and Declan Andrews - who have worked as a team and in a systematic manner to develop policies and make some very difficult funding decisions based on the criteria set in the Funding Guidelines. Over the last 3 years the Board has dealt with 400 to 450 applications requesting nearly $7 million each funding round. On merit, two thirds of these proposals have been recommended for funding for over $4.5 million. The Board has had to reduce this amount to $1.55 million, a task which they have done exceptionally well. This highlights the ongoing dilemma that the Board confronts, diminishing capacity of the Fund to meet community need, meaning that many high quality projects are unable to be funded. In closing I wish to thank you for your support to the Board and assisting us to meet the timetable each Funding Round in the prompt notification to applicants of the outcome of their applications.


2. Overview of Community Benefit SA Legislation Community Benefit SA, which has the legal name the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund, was established under an amendment to the Gaming Machines Act (1992) made in July 1996. The relevant sections of the Act appear below.

6. Recent Developments Community Benefit SA has undertaken continuous improvement strategies to regularly update its policies and procedures and to ensure it is responding to emerging needs in the community and to the priorities of Government. Recent developments are outlined below. Funding priorities In July 2007 the Funding Guidelines were updated to add a priority for family support and community strengthening and provide a reference to 7 priorities from the South Australian Strategic Plan (SASP) in the following areas:

• Objective 2 - Improving Wellbeing o Target 2.7 Psychological Wellbeing

• Objective 5 – Building Communities o Target 5.6 Volunteering o Target 5.7 Aboriginal Leadership o Target 5.8 Multiculturalism

• Objective 6 – Expanding Opportunity o Target 6.4 Early childhood – Australian Early Development Index o Target 6.5 Economic Disadvantage o Target 6.10 Housing for people with disabilities

In addition, the Board of Community Benefit SA has identified that the funding provided to non government organisations has contributed to the achievement of over 30 targets of the SA Strategic Plan. This is because of the wide diversity of the projects funded under the program. Funding to assist disadvantaged families increased from 121 projects for $1.53 million in 2007/08 to 160 projects for $1.75 million in 2008/09, even though there was less overall funds available for distribution. Strategic Partnerships In order to maximise the number of projects funded each round by CBSA and achieve the best possible joint resourcing of projects, CBSA has encouraged applicant agencies to form partnerships with other sectors, funding bodies and business. In Round 27 a total of 32 partnership projects were funded for $517,000 with a contribution of approximately $1 million from applicant agencies and other partners. A specific strategy was adopted for vehicles and resulted in 8 vehicles being funded in


Round 27 for $120,000 with a contribution of $108,000 from applicant agencies and other partners. This compared with only 3 vehicles being funded for $69,000 in the 2 previous rounds. Priority was given to rural and remote areas where access to transport is very limited. A partnership with Donortec, which provides low cost or free IT software and hardware, has resulted in a decrease in the number and cost of IT related projects over recent rounds.

Social Innovation The Funding Guidelines Booklet now includes a reference to Social Innovation. The definition includes reference to having at least two partners which cross into other sectors. While it is difficult to develop an initiative which is entirely new, many applicants have developed projects which have adapted strategies to new situations to effectively meet needs. For example, Uniting Care Wesley Port Pirie in the Mid North implemented a 40 week personal development workshop by combining a community artist program and a social enterprise strategy to facilitate 12 Aboriginal people who had never painted before to produce 41 pieces of art which was displayed at an exhibition in January and February 2009. Remarkably, over 20 of the works were sold with half of the revenue going to the artist and half to the program so it could be sustained. Confidence and skills have increased markedly from this project. The Board of CBSA welcomes the establishment of the Centre for Social Innovation in South Australia and looks forward in 2009/10 in making strategic links with this new body. Community Engagement The CBSA Board has added the term “Community Engagement” to the Funding Guidelines Booklet. The Board understands that, in order for applicant agencies to best meet the needs of their client group, strategies are required to engage clients as much as possible in identifying needs and developing appropriate services and programs. Applicants are able to present a stronger case if they provide evidence of clear community engagement processes being implemented.


7.

Other groups consulted include Local Councils, Wyatt Trust, Morialta Trust, Donortec, Playgroup SA, Business Enterprise Centres, Anglicare SA Loss and Grief Centre. Funding Application Workshops In 2008/09 CBSA conducted 17 application workshops in metropolitan and rural areas for participants to assist organisations to make funding applications to the most appropriate funding bodies and develop skills in submitting funding applications. 500 participants attended. All workshops are conducted in partnerships with community organisations or local government councils. In 2008/09 CBSA partnered with: • Non government bodies - South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS), Youth

Affairs Council of SA (YACSA), Multicultural Youth SA (MYSA), Multicultural Communities Council, Migrant Resource Centre, Community Radio Stations, Community and Neighbourhood Houses Association, Aboriginal Resource Centre in Port Augusta, Murray Bridge Community Centre, Marra Dreaming, Australian Refugee Association

• Councils - District Council of Loxton Waikerie, City of Playford, District Council of Tumby Bay, City of Onkaparinga, Renmark Paringa Council, City of Charles Sturt

• Government bodies - Office for Carers Case Studies In 2009 a total of 6 case studies were conducted to assess the long term impacts of projects funded under Community Benefit SA. The following outcomes were identified. Hutt St Centre and Bedford Industries received approval for a Fundraising Project Officer in 2004 and 2001 respectively Both agencies have been able to develop sustainable fundraising programs which are currently generating sufficient ongoing annual revenue to retain a Fundraising Project Officer and to provide some funding for existing and some new programs. The contacts made in the development of the fundraising programs have led to an increased profile, attracted additional supporters, volunteers and significant in kind contribution. Hutt St Centre provides meals and support services for homeless people in the inner city. Bedford Industries provides supported employment and other programs for people with disabilities).


Australian Huntington’s Disease Association also received a fundraising project in 2006. This has resulted in a partnership with Telethon which has enabled a relatively small agency to generate regular annual revenue to provide programs. The project also resulted in obtaining a free high quality television advertisement made overseas which has markedly lifted the profile of the agency and the understanding of Huntington’s Disease. This has attracted more clients, additional supporters, volunteers, donations and in kind contribution. The Huntington’s Disease Association provides a range of supports and programs for sufferers of HD and their families and carers. RecLink has received 7 small one-off grants from 1997 to 2007 and has attracted several other one-off grants and eventually a recurrent grant to enable the continuation of recreational programs for homeless and highly disadvantaged people as an important complementary strategy to assist them to stop the cycle of homelessness and poverty. RecLink began under the auspice of Hutt St Centre and is now an incorporated body which provides a range of recreational programs and outings for inner city homeless and disadvantaged adults. From 1997 to 2008 Hackham West Community Centre was funded by CBSA for 26 small community development and activity projects, 2 large building projects and some equipment projects. Remarkably most of these activity and community development projects are currently operating in the original or modified form. In 1996 the Hackham West Community Centre had very few programs running and very few people using the centre. In 2009 it has 50 diverse programs running weekly which support 1,000 local people using the centre. Connecting Up Australia received 4 separate successive one-off 12 month grants from CBSA which resulted in the development of Donortec, which provides low cost or free IT software and hardware in partnership with some key IT companies to Australia and New Zealand. This is a highly innovative project which evolved through several stages before developing a service and products which has greatly reduced the cost of IT to the community service sector which has very restricted funds. Connecting Up Australia (formally Community Information Strategies Australia) provides a range of information and IT services for the community services sector.


8. Special Grants Since Community Benefit SA began in 1996/97 two program streams have operated:

• The standard one-off project grants which have been available in each of 27 funding rounds over the 13 years of the Fund and have increased from a maximum of $25,000 to $40,000 to address progressive increasing costs

• Three types of Special Grants which have operated for limited periods to address specific needs.

The three types of Special Grants are briefly described below. Special Grants 1997/98 to 1999/2000 Special Grants up to $75,000 were introduced for the period 1997/98 to 1990/2000 to assist large charitable organisations address the impact of the introduction of gaming machines. Organisations applied for Special Grants as part of the normal funding round process. Strategic Special Grants 2000/01 to 2002/03 Strategic Special Grants (SSG’s) replaced Special Grants as a once only initiative and involved allocating one-off funds for up to 3 years to give organisations a longer time to develop sustainable fundraising programs or new services. A total of $2.1 million was allocated to 12 agencies over the 3 year period 2000/01 to 2002/03 for grants up to $75,000 per annum with a maximum of $225,000 over the 3 years. A separate allocation process was conducted in July 2000 to invite applications from eligible organisations. Most of these projects achieved the long term objective of establishing ongoing fundraising programs generating an elevated level of annual revenue or sustained services for disadvantaged people. Special Family Support Grants 2008 to 2010 In July 2007 the Minister for Families and Communities approved the introduction of Special Family Support Grants to provide services for the most vulnerable families where children and young people under 18 years are at risk of:

• notification to Families SA and/or • being moved into care and/or • child abuse and/or neglect


The aim of the program is to provide intensive prevention and early intervention programs to: • build family strength and resilience • prevent vulnerable families from being notified to Families SA and children and young

people from coming into care • prevent children and young people who are coming out of care from returning to care. Funded organisations are required to work closely with Families SA District Centres and receive referrals only from Families SA. Minister Weatherill approved the allocation of $700,000 per annum over 2 years with a third year option for the Special Family Support Program. The Board of CBSA conducted an application process in October 2007 which resulted in the approval of 5 non government organisations to provide services for vulnerable families in 4 priority geographic regions of Murray Bridge, Port Pirie, Onkaparinga/Aberfoyle Park, and Elizabeth. The organisations funded are tabled below:

Families SA district centre Lead Organisation P.A Elizabeth Anglicare

(Aboriginal only service) 140,000

Elizabeth Northern Area Youth and Community Services 70,000 Noarlunga/Aberfoyle Park Centacare Catholic Family Services 160,000 Murray Bridge Anglican Community Care

(Aboriginal only service) 170,000

Port Pirie UnitingCare Wesley Port Pirie 160,000 Total per annum 5 services 700,000

All organisations were funded to begin the establishment of the services in February 2008. An evaluation will be completed by September 2009 to determine if the organisations are funded for a third year in 2010.

10. Website Report - www.dfc.sa.gov.au/cbsa Since 2003 the Community Benefit SA website has continued to be a valuable addition to the program’s resources. Administrative workload in responding to requests for information has significantly decreased along with the costs of printing and postage. The website has made information more accessible, particularly for rural and remote applicants. The Department for Families and Communities redeveloped their corporate site during this financial year with aesthetic and navigational changes. A survey of CBSA customers revealed that the redevelopment did not pose any difficulties in site navigation or obtaining information. CBSA continues to review its own website content and will consider any future inclusions for the website, these may include:

• Information historically published in this Annual Report • Case studies with examples of successful project applications • Information targeted at specific client groups

The key features of the website include:

• Application Forms and Guidelines and reporting forms • New factsheets - supporting information for applicants relating to specific types of

applications including vehicles, seed funding and IT equipment. • Information about application workshops • Lists of past funded projects and this and past annual reports of the fund • Links to key sector development agencies and information about other funding sources

In 2008/09 the Community Benefit SA homepage:

• Had over 8,700 visits (over 6,200 unique views) • Acted as a catalyst for 3 quarters (approximately 4,650) of these individual visitors to go on to

view other pages within our website (Bounce rate of 25%).

The trend shows that during the time the rounds are open and following advertisement of the call for applications; the website is accessed by many more visitors than in other months. The obvious peaks around July 2008 and February 2009 correlate with the opening of Rounds 26 and 27 respectively. The daily average during peak periods is approximately 64 visits; this decreases to an average of 41 visits per day when examined across the year.


11. Evaluation, Monitoring & Accountability The Board has aimed to place reasonable accountability requirements on funded organisations by requesting concise and brief reports which contain essential information about outcomes of funded projects and the expenditure of funds. Feedback from funded organisations has indicated that this goal has been achieved. The evaluation and accountability procedures in the form of written reports and financial acquittal ensure that funds are expended in accordance with the Gaming Machines Act 1992 (amended 1996) and meet the requirements of the Funding Guidelines. The procedures also fulfil the requirements of the performance management framework of the Department for Families and Communities, Delivering Community Value: Performance Management Framework Agency Reports On completion of each funded project the following reports are sought from funded organisations: ~ A Financial Certificate - acts as a statutory declaration certifying that funds were spent in

accordance with the approved project. In the case of fundraising projects, details of additional net revenue generated are also sought.

~ A Project Evaluation Report – a written report briefly describing the project activities, people assisted, target group outcomes, numbers of people assisted and other achievements.

Agency Visits In 2008/09 the Community Benefit SA Board members and staff conducted a total of 52 agency visits across South Australia, for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating project activities and outcomes for people in need. It also provides the Fund with a practical insight into the needs of disadvantaged people in the community and the range of approaches and program models undertaken by agencies to meet those needs. Evaluations

To date formal assessments have been conducted of 2,485 one-off projects based on the

evaluation reports provided by agencies with:

• 2,223 projects (or 90%) were rated as successful with a medium, high or very high

outcome

• 991 projects (or 40%) exceeded the contracted outcome and were rated in the high to very

high categories

262 projects (or 10%) were rated at a lower outcome than expected or were projects that were

not completed, with partial funds returned for some projects

13. Financial Statement Statement by the Board of the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund. The Fund was established under section 73B of the Gaming Machines Act (1992) and was developed in response to the impact of the introduction of gaming machines in hotels and social clubs in South Australia. The Fund was established to enhance the level of community support through the metropolitan, regional and rural areas of South Australia by providing financial assistance to community organisations addressing social welfare needs, including those organisations experiencing increased service demands relating to gaming machine use, with special emphasis on: ~ The most vulnerable individuals, families and communities who are suffering poverty or

hardship and risk breakdown, ~ New ways of increasing financial support for organisations which are in the transition

from reliance upon gambling related fundraising methods. During the year ended 30 June 2008, funding totalling $4,000,000 was received and grants totalling $3,855,600 were approved to organisations meeting established criteria. This comprised $975,230 in Round 23 , $2,532,350 in Round 24 and $350,000 for Special Family Support Grants. Of grants approved by the Board in 2007/08, a total of $58,845 remained unpaid at 30 June 2008, pending acceptance by the recipient organisations. In accordance with a resolution of the Board of the above Fund we confirm that the attached statement of income and expenditure fairly reflects the results and operations of the Fund for the year ending 30 June 2008. We also confirm the Fund’s operations and grants made during the year have been in accordance with the aims and objectives of the Fund.

14 a) Categories of Funded Projects

Trends All projects funded by community Benefit SA are one off and aim to assist people in need and the most disadvantaged in the South Australian community. Specific data has been collected since 1996 and gives an indication as to where funding is allocated in terms of types of projects and amounts funded. Funding for community facility type projects have consistently been the most prevalent both for amounts funded and numbers of projects. These projects provide, upgrade or establish community facilities which enhance or establish services/programs. Due to an increasing demand on the program from organisations applying for vehicle type projects, the Board decided in Round 26 to only fund vehicles if the application met stringent criteria and was assessed as essential for a rural or remote area. Out of 30 vehicle applications, none met these criteria, however in R27 a fact sheet was developed and supplied on the website to assist organisations with addressing the criteria, and as a result there were 8 vehicle projects funded. Fundraising projects which assist organisations to develop long term fundraising strategies to increase the annual revenue for the purpose of providing service/programs for people in need, continues to be the least funded type project due the additional criteria placed on these types of applications, which restricts the number of applications received for this type of project. The following charts and tables on the following page indicate the number and percentage of projects funded and amounts allocated according to the type of project.

14 b) Size of Funded Projects (2008/2009)

The Board continues to set a priority of funding projects $10,000 and less to achieve the objective of equitable distribution of limited funds across target groups, geographic regions and organisations as much as possible. In 2008/2009 this objective was achieved by allocating 35% of the funds to projects $10,000 and under. This amounted to 199 of the 298 projects. The following tables and charts indicate the number of projects, the percentage of projects and amounts allocated according to the size of the projects. Please note that the thresholds for small and large projects have changed in line with the increase in the maximum limit of one-off grants and to reflect the impact of inflation.
