VOLUNTEER GRANTS PROGRAM
The Dept of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs has announced the next round of Volunteer Grants Program. This grant opportunity is being provided to support volunteering, and to build social inclusion and community participation in Australian communities.
Closing date is 25 September 2009
The Volunteer Grants Program provides funding for eligible not-for-profit organisations to support their volunteers and encourage volunteering by:
• purchasing practical and tangible small equipment items to help volunteers; and/or
• 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.
Organisations can apply for grant funding from a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $5,000. Funding is limited and applications will be assessed and prioritised according to how strongly they meet the selection criteria.
Eligible organisations must be Australian not-for-profit organisations: Seniors Computer Clubs are eligible if they are incorporated. Clubs that are not incorporated should seek sponsorship from their auspicing body.
You can apply either online or by post.
The funding round is expected to be very competitive and it is essential that applicants read the guidelines and answer all mandatory questions when applying.
