The Federal Volunteer Grants Program was re-established on Thursday, 29 October 2015.

The purpose of the program is to recognise the valuable role of volunteers and to encourage volunteering in the local community. As you know, volunteers participate in a diverse range of activities, including helping at local sporting events, fundraising, or assisting after an emergency or natural disaster. 

Grants between $1,000 and $5,000 are available.
