Hotels have a long and proud history of helping the community. The support given to charities, sporting clubs and community groups by hotels in SA is more than $9 million annually (figure obtained from McGregor Tan Marketing data).

This could be anything from a small donation or meal voucher for a school raffle to more significant fundraising initiatives for particular charities. It could also be the pub being the major sponsor of the local football team - local hotels play their part at all levels.

Pubs with Heart’ is the coordinator of an application process to facilitate financial support for various community groups and projects. Such funds are provided by the Independent Gaming Corporation Ltd solely at the discretion of the IGC Board. The funds are made available from fees collected by IGC Ltd from all Hotels and Clubs with electronic gaming machines.

Since it was established in 1995, "Pubs with Heart" has poured more than $10 million back into the community. It has a particular focus on supporting charities, not for profit organisations and disadvantaged groups.
