Volunteer Grants 2015 – $5,000
The Federal Government’s Volunteer Grants Scheme has just returned after a hiatus of two years. In great news for small community organisations, grants of up to $5000 are available so volunteers can have the cost of transport, fuel, training courses and background screening checks reimbursed, and so organisations can purchase small items of equipment to assist volunteers.
Applications are open until 2pm on Wednesday December 9.

Funding is expected to be offered to around 5,700 organisations as a result of this process, with grants to be paid by 30 June 2016.
Please Note: Applicants are not required to submit a Registration Form for this funding round.
