Community organisations are encouraged to apply for grants to support their volunteers.

The grants provide small amounts of money that organisations and community groups can use to help their volunteers, such as purchase equipment like laptops, pay fuel costs, train volunteers and improve their fundraising.

The objectives of Volunteer Grants are to:

• Help community organisations to support the efforts of Australia’s volunteers

• Help community organisations to support the inclusion of vulnerable people through volunteering.

• Encourage, support and increase participation in volunteering.

If you would like assistance, please call the Community Grants Hub Hotline on 1800 020 283 or email support@communitygrants.gov.au.
