Dozens of groups in the Yorkton area will benefit from more than $58,000 in charitable gaming grants distributed by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA).
"Important projects and programs in these communities will get a financial boost from the grant program," Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Christine Tell said. "Our government is pleased to support all of these groups who work hard to provide activities and programs in communities throughout our province."
The quarterly grants, which are based on the net proceeds raised through licensed charitable gaming activities, provide important funding for a variety of local charitable projects. Among the grant recipients this quarter are the Yorkton Kinsmen Club, the Churchbridge and District Lions Club and the Royal Canadian Legion in Kamsack.
"Many volunteers fundraise and work hard to provide programs and services to make their communities a great place to live and raise a family," Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit said. "The grant program recognizes the fundraising they are doing, providing additional dollars to help these organizations continue their good work."
The charitable gaming grant program supports groups and organizations that conduct charitable gaming including licensed bingos, raffles, breakopen tickets, Texas Hold'em poker and Monte Carlo events. Groups and organizations receive a grant equal to 25 per cent of the net revenues raised from these activities.
Charitable gaming grants are paid quarterly. Groups that conduct licensed charitable gaming activities and events do not have to apply for the charitable gaming grant. Charitable gaming reports submitted by the groups are used by SLGA to calculate grants.
In 2008-09, SLGA paid out approximately $6.7 million through the charitable gaming grant program.
