409 one-off projects funded for $4.82 million

$1.6 million allocated to rural regions (33.4% of funds)

Most funds were allocated to special needs groups of Aboriginal, Multicultural, Disability, families and young people.

Approximately 300 individuals attended 8 application workshops organised by CBSA in conjunction with other community organisations and local government bodies.

Additional workshops were initiated by and conducted with the Commonwealth Regional Partnerships funding program in May and June 2007. These workshops were attended by over 600 individuals from community organisations.

$1.1m of additional funding was attracted to Community Benefit SA funded projects through the Regional Partnerships funding program.

Community Benefit SA held a conference at Allan Scott Park (Morphettville Racecourse) in August 2006, attended by 200 people, to celebrate 10 years of achievement and successful projects funded to non-government organisations. This conference was the third of such celebratory and networking events that this funding program has conducted and was titled “10 Years of Community Achievement - Doing a Lot with a Little”. Previous conferences have also been successful: Sharing Success in 2001 and Creating Opportunities in 2003.


4. Partnerships Since its establishment Community Benefit SA has worked in partnership with many key stakeholders to assist non government organisations to develop project proposals and facilitate joint funding arrangements. One of the most important relationships has been established in recent years with the Commonwealth Government’s Regional Partnerships program which aims to promote economic and social development of communities. The Commonwealth requires a State Government funding contribution to attract funding for joint projects. To June 2007 funding from Community Benefit SA has partnered the funding of 10 projects which have attracted $1,153,000 from the Regional Partnerships program. Nine projects involved the upgrade or establishment of community facilities across the State at Maitland, Yankalilla, Christie Downs, Torrens Valley, Millicent (Karoban Drug Rehabilitation Centre and Nooralong campsite), Mylor campsite, and the Aboriginal communities of Amata (Coober Pedy) and Tangglun Piltenji Yunti Aborignal Corporation (Murray Bridge). Each funding round Community Benefit SA consults with relevant Government funding and policy bodies to ensure that projects are funded which complement other programs. Bodies consulted in 2006/07 include Multicultural SA, Aboriginal Health Division, Mental Health Services, Arts SA, Office for Volunteers, Office for Youth, Office for Recreation and Sport, Parenting SA, Premiers Community Initiative Fund and the Department for Families and Communities (Alternative Care Unit, Council for the Care of Children, Family and Community Development Program, Office for the Ageing; Home and Community Care Program, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Unit, Disability SA, Families SA - local District Centres, Housing SA, Supported Accommodation Assistance Program). Community Benefit SA has also coordinated with the South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS), Youth Affairs Council of SA (YACSA), Southern Volunteering, Multicultural Youth SA, Multicultural Communities Council, Disability Information Resource Centre, Local Councils (City of Charles Sturt, Onkaparinga Council, Salisbury Council, City of Marion), Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services (Regional Partnerships) to deliver application workshops in the metropolitan and country areas.


5. Evaluation, Monitoring & Accountability The Board has aimed to place reasonable accountability requirements on agencies, and not unrealistic demands, by requesting concise and brief reports which contain essential information about outcomes of funded projects. Feedback from funded agencies has indicated that this goal has been achieved. A number of evaluation and accountability procedures in the form of written reports and financial acquittal. This ensures funds are expended in accordance with the Gaming Machines (Miscellaneous) Amendments Act (1996) and meet the requirements of the Funding Guidelines. 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 describes the project activities, people assisted, target group outcomes, numbers of people assisted and other achievements.

From Round 15 the Board set a policy that organisations approved for a new project would not receive payment until all previous projects were acquitted and evaluated. Staff from Community Benefit SA follow up agencies to increase the level of accountability. Agency Visits Board members and staff of the Fund make agency visits for the purposes 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. In 2006/07 a total of 47 agencies were visited. Evaluations To date formal assessments have been conducted of 2,185 one-off projects based on the evaluation reports provided by agencies with: • 1,963 projects (or 90%) were rated as successful with a medium, high or very high

outcome • 905 projects (or 41%) exceeded the contracted outcome and were rated in the high to very

high categories • 222 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.

6. Website Report The Community Benefit SA website has been a valuable addition to the programs resources since 2003. Availability of the website has significantly decreased the administrative workload in responding to requests for information, decreased the costs of printing and postage and made information more accessible, particularly for rural and remote applicants. In future the website will include additional information that has historically been published in this Annual Report. The key features of the website include:

o Application Forms and Guidelines o Information about Application Workshops o Lists of past funded projects o The Annual Report of the Fund o Links to key sector development agencies and information about other funding sources

In 2006/07 applicants have ‘hit’ the website almost 17,500 times. The trend shows that during the time that the rounds are open, the website is accessed by many more visitors than in other months. The obvious peaks in August and February, correlate with the opening of Rounds 22 and 23. In the week following advertisement (July and January), the website recorded 430 and 375 hits respectively. The daily average during peak periods is 74 hits. The daily average during non-peak periods is 27 hits. Following the conduct of additional workshops in May and June 2007 in conjunction with the Grants Smart Expo (Regional Partnerships), the CBSA website experienced a significant increase in hits (by 220% when compared to the average non-peak period usage). These workshops were conducted in rural areas of the South East, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa region as well as metropolitan Adelaide.

9 b) Size of Funded Projects

The Board has set a priority to fund projects of less than $10,000 to achieve the objective of equitably distributing limited funds across target groups, geographic regions and organisations as much as possible. In 2006/2007 this objective was achieved by allocating 78% of the funds to projects $10,000 and under. This amounted to 298 of the 409 projects funded in 06/07.

The following tables and charts indicate the number of projects, the percentage of projects and amounts allocated according to the size of the projects.
