APPLICATIONS CLOSE – Friday 16th September!
Expressions of Interest for the 2022-23 Volunteer Grants program are now open!
These grants can be used to buy small equipment for volunteers or for the reimbursement of volunteer fuel, transport, and training costs. Eligible not-for-profit community organisations can apply for funding between $1,000 and $5,000.
The Volunteer Grants were an initiative of the former Coalition Government designed to assist and encourage volunteers. They are available to help community organisations to:
- support the efforts of Australia’s volunteers
- support the inclusion of vulnerable people through volunteering
- encourage, support, and increase participation in volunteering.
