Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2004/2005
1. Chairman’s Report to the Minister
Hon Jay Weatherill MP Minister for Families and Communities GPO Box 2269 ADELAIDE 5000
Dear Minister
On behalf of the Board of the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund (Community Benefit SA), I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the period 2004/05.
In this last financial year, a total of 957 applications were received from non government community service agencies requesting $13.4 million over two funding rounds conducted in August 2004 (Round 18) and February 2005 (Round 19). The high level of demand for funds has continued to grow throughout the 9 years of operation of Community Benefit SA, with a grand total now of 7,557 applications requesting $109.4 million. This is a reflection of the level of need for program and infrastructure assistance in the SA community.
In 2004/05 a total of 373 one-off projects were funded for $3.92 million. The Board was extremely pleased that the following special need groups received funding: • Aboriginal communities – 56 projects for $724,400 • Multicultural communities – 52 projects for $608,900, of which 15 projects were funded to refugee groups for $249,600 • People with disabilities – 42 projects for $387,100 • Families with children – 76 projects for $697,700 • Young people – 59 projects for $700,800
The Board was highly appreciative of your initiative to provide additional monies of $768,000 to fund 74 disability projects from Round 19 applications. This was clearly very well received by the agencies concerned.
On a geographic basis, 38% of funds, or $1,483,900, was allocated to the rural and remote regions in 2004/05. The Board is pleased to see that agencies in these regions have received information on Community Benefit SA and have taken the initiative to apply. In addition, most of the projects funded in the metropolitan area targeted the highest need regions.
The Board is well aware that non government agencies require infrastructure support so that they are in a strong position to provide services and resources to assist disadvantaged individuals, families and communities. As in previous years, Community Benefit SA has funded significant sums of money for: • Community facilities (101 projects for $1,235,800) • Program equipment (89 projects for $395,400) • Vehicles (16 for $392,300) • Office and IT equipment (45 projects for $242,500)
It is understood by the Board that up to date IT resources are critical for the community services sector to not only function efficiently and communicate effectively, but are utilised to provide training for disadvantaged participants in what has become essential life skills.
Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2004/2005 1
During the year, Board and staff members made visits to 65 agencies in both rural and metropolitan areas. The visits have provided much insight into the positive impact of projects on agencies and client groups, and once again gave evidence to the continued capacity of agencies to “value add” to projects by attracting additional resources and volunteers. This positive perception is reinforced by the fact that 90% of projects that have been evaluated (1,530 in all) were rated as successful in meeting or exceeding contracted objectives.
Community Benefit SA conducted 12 application workshops for 410 people in 2004/05 to assist agencies to understand the guidelines and improve the quality of their applications. This strategy has proven to be successful as the standard of applications in terms of clarity and detail has clearly advanced over recent years. It was extremely pleasing to see that workshops in the rural towns of Murray Bridge, Port Augusta and Ceduna attracted large audiences.
The introduction of the Fund’s web site in July 2003 has proven to be a valuable asset in increasing ease of access to information about the Fund and has also allowed agencies to download the application form so that proposals can be directly word processed. Usage of the website increased over the 2004/05, peaking with 1,950 visits in February 2005 in the lead up to the closing date of Round 19.
I also note the cohesive nature of the Board and constructive input of all Board members – Libby Kosmala and Colleen Fitzpatrick (Foundation members), together with Diana Hill and Harold Allison. Their knowledge of the community services sector and the needs of disadvantaged people has been critical in the decision making process to fund the most appropriate projects.
The dedicated hard work of the small staff team, Enza Monterosso, Paula Dickson, Bec Curtain and highly competent leadership of John Smith continues to be greatly appreciated by the Board.
The Board plans to hold its third Conference in July 2006 to celebrate ten years of success of the Fund. We would welcome you to open the conference and will write separately with a request.
In closing, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve on the Community Benefit SA Board and for your ongoing support of Community Benefit SA.
Yours sincerely
MARK HENLEY CHAIR

Community Benefit SA is the public name given to the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund, established under Section 73B of the Gaming Machines (Miscellaneous) Amendments Act 1996. The Fund is a program of the Government of South Australia and distributes $4 million each year from gaming machine taxes. The Fund provides financial assistance for charitable or social welfare organisations in accordance with the directions of a Board appointed by the Minister for Families and Communities. The Board is responsible for making the funding decisions and the Minister is responsible for determining the guidelines.
In accordance with the Funding Guidelines approved by the Minister, the overall purpose of Community Benefit SA is to provide one-off project funding to assist incorporated, non government non-profit charitable and social welfare organisations to improve the well-being, quality of life, community participation and life management skills of disadvantaged individuals, families and communities, and to develop and strengthen communities across the metropolitan, rural and remote regions of South Australia.
This is achieved by funding one-off projects which: ~ Enhance the functioning, administrative efficiency, infrastructure, volunteer base and ongoing revenue raising capacity of organisations ~ Establish, provide, enhance, develop or expand services, programs, activities, facilities, resources and equipment provided for disadvantaged individuals, families and communities.
A major focus of the Fund is to complement community service programs, which are the core responsibility of other major organisations, Government Departments and funding bodies. Grants are limited to $35,000 with most of the funds given in smaller amounts of less than $10,000.

6. Funding Rounds
In 1996/97, the initial year of operation of the Fund, 3 funding rounds were conducted. From 1997/98, the Board decided to reduce the number of funding rounds to two per year to minimise administration costs and to ensure effective management of the Fund.
Each round takes approximately 20 weeks to complete, from the time of advertising the opening of the funding round to the time of notifying applicants of funding outcomes. A further period of 2 to 6 weeks is required to establish agreements and make payments to funded agencies as well as provide feedback to unsuccessful applicants. The payment period may extend to 3 months if agencies are required to acquit previously funded projects or there is a delay by the agencies in accepting the offer of funding.
At the completion of each funded project agencies are required to complete an evaluation report and acquit the funds.

8. Evaluation, Monitoring & Accountability
To ensure funds are expended in accordance with the Gaming Machines (Miscellaneous) Amendments Act (1996) and the Funding Guidelines, the Board has implemented a number of evaluation, monitoring and accountability procedures which are in the form of agency written reports and agency visits. The Board has aimed to place reasonable accountability requirements on agencies, and not unrealistic demands, by requesting concise and brief reports which contain the essential information. Feedback from funded agencies has indicated that this goal has been achieved.
Agency Reports At the completion of each funded project, agencies are required to provide to the Fund the following information: ~ A Financial Certificate acts as a statutory declaration that the 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 briefly describes the project activities, people assisted, target group outcomes, numbers of people assisted and other achievements.
A mechanism to monitor the receipt of reports is incorporated into the Community Benefit SA database system. Staff from Community Benefit SA follow up agencies to increase the level of accountability. From Round 15 the Board set a policy that agencies approved for a new project would not receive payment until all previous projects were acquitted and evaluated.
Agency Visits Board members and staff of the Fund make agency visits for the purposes of 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 2004/05 a total of 65 agencies were visited.
Agency visits have affirmed that most projects have achieved a significant level of benefit for disadvantaged people, have improved facilities as an ongoing resource for the community, have enhanced current services/programs, or established new self-sustaining services/ programs.
Funded agencies have consistently demonstrated a capacity to utilise relatively small amounts of money for maximum benefit and have attracted additional resources in the process.
To date formal assessments have been conducted of 1,530 one-off projects
based on the evaluation reports provided by agencies.
Of the 1,530 projects evaluated 1,380 projects (or 90.2%) were rated as
successful with a medium, high or very high outcome.
688 projects (or 45.0%) exceeded the contracted outcome and were rated in the
high to very high categories.
150 projects (or 9.8%) were rated at a lower outcome than expected or were projects that were not completed, with partial funds returned for some projects

9. Case Studies
Since Community Benefit SA was established in 1996, a total of 2,860 one-off projects have been funded for $26.3 million to over 800 non government community service organisations. In addition 12 projects received $2.1 million over a 2-3 year period from 2001 to 2004 under the Strategic Special Grants program (which is no longer available).
Outlined below are some examples of organisations which have developed high quality projects with assistance from Community Benefit SA grants.
NOVITA CHILDREN'S SERVICES (Formerly Crippled Children's Association of SA)
From 2001 to 2003, Novita Children's Services with some in-kind assistance of a website construction company, Fusion, and a Strategic Special Grant of $149,000 from Community Benefit SA, established 4 interactive websites accessible to people with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities.
The web sites are state of the art, with voice readout of website text and no page being more than 3 clicks away from the home page to maximise ease of navigation of the site. The web sites have been rated Triple A by the World Wide Web Consortium for accessibility for people with disabilities.
The four websites comprise: • The Main Site, (www.novita.org.au) which contains over 600 pages of the latest information on the extensive services provided by Novita; • The NovitaTech Site, (www.novitatech.org.au), which provides on-line shopping facilities to purchase the latest 'cutting edge' assistive technology to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, and • The Novita Kids Site (http://kids.novita.org.au) and the Novita Teens Site (http://teens.novita.org.au) that contains information developed especially for younger children and teens with a disability, providing them the opportunity to contribute to the site.
Children and teens with disabilities, carers, other organisations and professionals have benefited from accessing relevant information and resources. The organisation has also benefited from increased revenue generated from on-line donations and involvement in fundraising activities.
TOWNSEND HOUSE (Can Do 4 Kids)
Community Benefit SA funded Townsend House for a Strategic Special Grant of $193,000 for the period 2001 to 2004 to develop major fundraising initiatives and establish the CanDo4Kids-Foundation to increase the range of programs provided for children with sensory impairments.
Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2004/2005 15
The project has resulted in the establishment of Australia's first community owned Internet Service Provider, CanDoNet (www.candonet.com.au), as a highly innovative enterprise fundraising and service provision initiative. The program not only generates ongoing additional revenue for CanDo4Kids-Townsend House, but also makes available a low cost option for other community organisations to establish a their own web site to provide information and an additional potential source of fundraising.
Funds generated from CanDoNet has enabled Townsend House to fund a number of new initiatives from the CanDo4Kids-Foundation.
MOUNT BARKER FAMILY HOUSE
Mount Barker Family House has utilised a series of Community Benefit SA project grants since 1997 to progressively upgrade the facilities of their community centre to provide better and expanded services for hundreds of disadvantaged people living in the Adelaide Hills region.
A total of 5 projects totalling $74,830 have enabled the organisation to: • Re-arrange the internal structure of the activity room to give more usable area • Install an air conditioner • Up-grade the kitchen to meet the new Foodsafe Legislation and to provide high quality nutritional cooking programs • Develop two large sections of the outdoor area to provide excellent playground and sheltered activity areas
The improvements have enhanced outcomes for participants in terms of community participation, personal development and life management skills.

AWESAM – The South Australian Music Industry Association Inc (Based on an extract from a Press Release by AWESAM)
AWESAM TV (www.awesamtv.com.) produced by AWESAM – The South Australian Music Industry Association Inc., (www.awesam.org.au)has filmed and interviewed many of SA's bands and solo artists. Episodes have aired weekly on local community television station C31 Adelaide and now they are showcasing our artists internationally!
Thanks to Andrew Herzman, President of QopelRecords (www.qopelrecords.com) and Producer of Access Central TV (www.accesscentral.tv), AWESAM TV is broadcast on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network (www.mnn.org) and is aired at 4:30pm on Mondays (U.S. Eastern Std Time) on NYC's Channel 67.
Not only is AWESAM TV broadcast in New York but it has been added to programming of 30 cable TV systems from Washington, DC to Sante Fe, New Mexico!
“Andrew Herzman has been instrumental in getting AWESAM TV to air on all those stations in the U.S.”, explains Sue Hedley, producer/director of AWESAM TV. “With his help we now have a great outlet for South Australian talent to be showcased internationally.”
“I’m really excited that our local talent is going to be exposed overseas”, says Mandi Faerie, one of the hosts and producer/director of AWESAM TV. ”It’s a great opportunity for us to show the United States what talent South Australia currently has to offer.”
“It’s a great initiative from AWESAM Inc to establish and promote SA musicians on a world stage”, says Benjahmin Williams, host of AWESAM TV. “It’s AWESAM!”
Through the support of a grant from Community Benefit SA, AWESAM TV is produced and broadcast weekly in Adelaide on C31 Adelaide. It airs Mondays at 10pm with it being repeated on Saturdays at 10pm.
Community Benefit SA Annual Report 2004/2005 17
“Without the grant from Community Benefit SA we would not have been able to produce AWESAM TV on the same production levels. The grant has not only enabled the program to be produced and broadcast but has also made it possible to purchase some broadcast quality production equipment,” explains Sue Hedley.
AWESAM TV is produced, hosted and crewed by volunteers, many of whom are on low income or unemployed, and who have a passion for promoting talent.
REFUGEE PROJECTS
Since 1999/2000 Community Benefit SA has funded 78 one-off projects for $1,155,600 to 27 organisations to assist newly arrived refugees to successfully resettle in South Australia. The projects have complemented other State and Commonwealth Government programs and have filled gaps is services where people were in crisis and an immediate response was required to address urgent needs and prevent potential long term mental health problems.
The one-off projects have facilitated the development and implementation of • support services, including the provision of counselling, information, referral and advocacy for individuals and families • structured programs, including youth and family skill development camps and small group workshops • volunteer programs which have built sustainable services and programs and led to the emergence of community leaders amongst refugee groups • specific programs including playgroups, household items, body therapies which are particularly effective with people who are victims of torture and trauma
The funding of office equipment and furniture, program materials and equipment, a vehicle and building upgrades have also made a significant contribution to support organisations to provide appropriate services and programs for refugees.

Statement by the Board of the Charitable and Social Welfare Fund.
The Fund was established under section 73B of the Gaming Machines (Miscellaneous) Amendments Act (1996) 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 2005, funding totalling $4,000,000 was received and grants totalling $4,175,790 were approved to organisations meeting approved criteria. Of grants approved by the Board in 2004/05, a total of $2,031,210 remained unpaid at 30 June 2005, pending acceptance by the recipient organisations.
