Volunteer Grants support the work of local community organisations by reducing barriers for volunteers and increasing participation in volunteering.

Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 will be available to assist eligible not-for-profit community organisations that rely on volunteers.

Grants can be used to purchase communication or insurance items and/or purchase items or services to assist volunteers or volunteer-run activities that support the well-being and development of children (under 18).

The 2024–25 Volunteer Grants Opportunity is open for expressions of interest. Please note that the guidelines for this year's round have changed from previous rounds. 

The grant funding must be spent on activities or items that directly benefit the work of the volunteers, not for the benefit of the organisation.

You will need to review the guidelines before submitting your Expression of Interest, which you can access on the Grants Connect website by clicking Grant Opportunity Guidelines.

I encourage all eligible groups across the Corangamite electorate to apply.

Expression of Interest forms (EOI) can be downloaded by clicking here.

Please email your completed EOI to [email protected] or mail it to 26/500-540 Torquay Road Armstrong Creek VIC 3217 by no later than 5pm, 17 Jan 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact my office on 03 5261 7683.
