What is the Volunteer Grants initiative?
The Volunteer Grants initiative is part of the Government's ongoing commitment to supporting volunteering, and building social inclusion and community participation in Australian communities.
Volunteer Grants provides grant funding ranging from a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum of $5,000 for eligible non-profit organisations to support their volunteers and encourage volunteering by:
- purchasing practical and tangible small equipment items to help their volunteers
- contributing towards the reimbursement of volunteers' fuel costs incurred when carrying out their volunteering work, including those who use their cars to transport others to activities, deliver food and assist people in need.
