Zoe Daniel MP is very pleased to announce that the ‘Volunteer Grants - Families and Communities Program’ is available for community organisations in 2022-23.

Volunteer Grants support the work of local community organisations with a focus on the inclusion of vulnerable people and promoting participation in volunteering.

There is $66,225 available for Goldstein not-for-profit organisations whose workforce consists of at least 40% volunteers. Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 will be available to eligible not-for-profit community organisations to support the efforts of their volunteers.

The grants can be used to buy small equipment for volunteers, or for the reimbursement of volunteer fuel, transport, or training costs, or to purchase items that help promote awareness of volunteering opportunities.

This grant will require applicants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to my office before Monday 12th of September. There will be no extensions to accepting the EOI, which will then be assessed by a local committee.

Successful/Unsuccessful EOI applicants will then be notified.

Successful EOI will then be invited to submit a formal application to the Department of Social Services.
