Volunteer Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how community organisations can access small grants for volunteer equipment and training through this government funding scheme.
Volunteer Grants provide small amounts of funding to help community organisations support the people who give their time for free.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for community organisations that provide support to volunteers.
What you get
You can receive small grants to help cover the costs of equipment or to provide training for your volunteers.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you must go through a competitive application process where you must prove your need for the funds.
The catch to know
If you receive money, you must follow very strict acquittal requirements. This means you must provide detailed proof and documentation showing exactly how every cent was spent.
How to apply
- Determine if your organisation meets the eligibility criteria for community groups.
- Prepare a detailed plan for how the funds will be used for equipment or training.
- Submit your application through the official government channels.
- Keep all receipts and records to meet the strict reporting requirements.
