Funding requests may range from a minimum of $1000 up to a maximum of $5000 per organisation. The Volunteer Grants Program 2008 provides funding for eligible not-for-profit organisations to support volunteers and encourage volunteering by:
- purchasing small equipment and sporting items to help their existing volunteers and to encourage more people to become volunteers
- contributing towards fuel costs incurred in their volunteering work, such as when using their cars to transport others to activities, deliver food and assist people in need. Please Note: Applications for a contribution towards the reimbursement of fuel costs are limited to $2500 per organisation.*
There are two ways that organisations can apply for funding:
- The Single organisation application form is for organisations applying for funding of $1000 - $5000*.
- The Multi-organisation application form is for organisations applying for funding between $10,000 and $250,000 on behalf of their organisation and their multiple branches or subordinate organisations.
