The Volunteer Grants Program
The Volunteer Grants Program 2008 recognises the valuable work of Australia's volunteers and is part of the Australian Government's ongoing commitment to supporting volunteers and encouraging volunteering in local communities.
Funding of between $1000 and $5000 is available to eligible not-for-profit organisations to purchase small equipment and sporting items to help their existing volunteers and to encourage more people to become volunteers.
Organisations will be able to request funding to contribute towards reimbursement to their volunteers for fuel costs incurred in their volunteering work. This will assist volunteers in their important work, including those who use their cars to transport others to activities, deliver food and assist people in need.
The Volunteer Grants Program 2008 provides funding of between $1000 and $5000 to help not for profit organisations to:
- buy tangible, small equipment items to help volunteers, and/or
- cover costs such as club sporting equipment and uniforms, training of volunteer sports coaches, and travel for specific sports-related purposes, and/or
- contribute towards fuel reimbursement for their volunteers.
There are two forms available to apply for funding under the Volunteer Grants Program 2008:
- Single organisation application form for applicants applying on behalf of only one organisation
Organisations can submit one Single Organisation Application for grant funding of between $1000 and $5000. Organisations can apply for funding on their own behalf, or seek funding on behalf of an organisation that is not a legal entity.
- Multi-organisation application form for parent organisations applying on behalf of themselves and multiple branches/outlets
Parent organisations can apply for funding on behalf of themselves and their branches/outlets, with the agreement of the branches/outlets. The parent organisation can submit one Multi-organisation application form for total funding of between $10 000 and $250 000, to purchase items, including a contribution for the reimbursement of fuel costs, of between $1000 and $5000 for each branch/outlet
More information and application forms are available at www.fahcsia.gov.au
