In 2025, more than $365 million was raised for Lotterywest’s grants program, equivalent to over $1 million being returned to WA community groups every day of the year. This significant funding supported 395 WA community groups, ranging from an $80,000 grant for Mission Australia’s Christmas Lunch In The Park to a $10.8 million grant for Screenwest.
