Federal Volunteer Grants support the work of local community organisations by enabling the inclusion of vulnerable people and promoting awareness to increase participation in volunteering.
The 2022–23 Volunteer Grants opportunity is expected to open for applications in the second half of 2022.
The grants provide funding between $1,000 and $5,000 to help not-for-profit organisations to:
- Purchase portable, tangible, small equipment items to help their volunteers
- Contribute to the reimbursement of fuel costs for their volunteers who use their own car to transport others to activities, deliver food, assist with medical appointments or help people in need
- Contribute to the reimbursement of transport costs incurred by volunteers with disability who are unable to drive
- Contribute to the costs of training courses and/or undertake background screening checks for their volunteers
- Grants are administered by federal Members of Parliament (MPs). The first step is engaging with your local federal member of parliament.
To apply, contact your local MP's office and ask how you can submit your expression of interest. Alternatively, call 1800 020 283
or email support@communitygrants.gov.au.
Grants open 15th Nov and close 5th Dec.
