The Federal Labor Government’s 2024-2025 Volunteer Grants Program Expression of Interest period is now open.

The Volunteer Grants Program supports the work of local community organisations by reducing barriers for volunteers and increasing participation in volunteering.

Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 will be available to assist eligible not-for-profit community organisations that rely on volunteers.

Grants can be used to purchase communication or insurance items and/or purchase items or services to assist volunteers or volunteer-run activities that support the well-being and development of children (under 18).

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“I am pleased to announce that the 2024-25 Volunteer Grants Program Expression of Interest period is now open.

“The program supports not-for-profit community organisations, and its volunteers undertake their activities.

“Last year, 19 local community organisations were able to share in a total funding allocation of $66,225.

“This year, I am encouraging as many community organisations as possible to apply, so we can determine where the most need is.

“Eligible organisations can visit my website for further information, and to access the EOI form, which will need to be returned to my office once complete.
