What were the Volunteer Small Equipment Grants 2007?
The Volunteer Small Equipment Grants 2007 call for applications closed Friday 22 June 2007 at 5pm AEDT.
This program is part of the Australian Government's ongoing commitment to supporting volunteering, and building social inclusion and community participation in Australian communities.
The Volunteer Small Equipment Grants Program provides funding for eligible not-for-profit organisations to support their volunteers and encourage volunteering by:
- purchasing small equipment and sporting items to help their existing volunteers and to encourage more people to become volunteers
- contributing towards fuel costs incurred in their volunteering work, such as when using their cars to transport others to activities, deliver food and assist people in need.
