The new initiative called CommUnity,launches on 17 March and is designed to connect shoppers,merchants and community groups in a way that will put moneyback into local communities.

Problem GamblingFoundation Director of Communications, Andree Froude, saysit is great to see a fundraising initiative that doesn’trely on people in some of our poorest communities puttingmoney into pokie machines.

“Pokies are the most harmfulform of gambling in Aotearoa and there are five times asmany of these machines in our poorer communities so thepeople losing the money are the ones that can least affordit.”

The Problem Gambling Foundation believes thetime is right to introduce this initiative.

“IfCOVID has taught us anything, it is that we need to find newways of doing things and sourcing a more sustainable form offunding for these worthwhile sports and community groups isno different,” Andree Froude says.

In 2019, over$939 million was lost on pokie machines in Aotearoa andapproximately $241 million was paid out in grants tocommunity and sports groups.

“Problem gamblerscontribute between 30-60% of the amount paid out in grantsmeaning they are losing the amount equal to grants, orconsiderably more,” Andree Froude says.

“Thecurrent model of funding our communities with the proceedsfrom pokies is inequitable and unethical. Any communityfunding alternative that reduces reliance on money frompokie machines and doesn’t cause harm to our communities,is worth giving a go.”

CommUnity founder, former NewZealand cricketer John Parker, said CommUnity’s purpose isto generate funds for Kiwi community groups and is committedto giving money back to the community easing the constantpressure community groups face having tofundraise.
