LotteryWest does indeed put a HUGE amount of money back into the community. Everyone is encouraged to apply for funds, as little as $5000 or so, it doesn't have to be big, and they help you with the application (tell you what you need to change to make it acceptable). Sometimes your organisation is required to match the amount, i.e. they pay 50% of what you want, and they expect some advertising for them, like a sticker or sign saying LotteryWest funded, but most people are happy to do that.
I was surprised to find this doesn't happen in other states. Don't know why.
