Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the 2023-24 Volunteer Grants are now open.
The 2023-24 Volunteer Grants provide funding of between $1,000 and $5,000 to organisations to support the work of volunteers.
Eligible volunteer organisations can request an EOI form from the office of the Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid, who is encouraging local incorporated, not-for-profit, volunteer organisations to apply.
“Each year, the Volunteer Grants provide funding to local volunteer organisations to support the work of their volunteers,” Reid said.
“Funding can be used to purchase eligible small equipment items, cover fuel costs, pay for the training of volunteers, or promote awareness of volunteering opportunities in the community.
“For an EOI form and for the grant opportunity guidelines, I encourage interested volunteer organisations to get in touch with my office.”
Last year the federal government provided up to $66,224 to local volunteer organisations in Robertson, including $1000 to the Davistown Progress Association to pay for training for its members to learn how to use its defibrillator.
“This year, I hope to have another successful grant round, supporting a range of volunteering organisations on the Central Coast,” Reid said.
The EOI period will end on Friday September 15 at 5pm.
