Volunteers Grant 2023-24

25 Jul | '2023

The Volunteers Grant aims to help community organisations support the efforts of Australia’s volunteers, support the inclusion of vulnerable people through volunteering; and encourage, support and increase participation in volunteering.

Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 are available to eligible not-for-profit community organisations. This funding can be used for activities including:

  • The purchase of eligible small equipment for use by volunteers
  • Contribute to volunteers’ fuel costs, during the course of their volunteer work
  • Contribute to transport costs for volunteers with disability who are unable to drive
  • Assist with the cost of training courses for volunteers
  • Undertake background screening checks for volunteers
  • Conduct activities to promote awareness of, and increase participation in, volunteering opportunities
  • Adapt practises to support volunteers’ safety.

Please refer to the Volunteer Grants – Grant Opportunity Guidelines for a full and comprehensive explanation of eligible activities. The appendix includes a number of helpful examples.
