Expressions of Interest called for Volunteer Grants program

Expressions of Interest are open now for not-for-profit community groups and organisations in Hinkler which need a helping hand to support their local volunteers.

Federal Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt is calling for expressions of interest for the 2019-20 Volunteer Grants Program.

“Volunteering is part of the Australian way of life and many organisations couldn’t continue without the help of volunteers,” he said.

“This Federal funding program provides grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 to help cover volunteer’s fuel costs, training costs, as well as small items such as printers or laptops.

“If local organisations would like to be considered for a grant they need to complete an Expression of Interest form and return it to the Hinkler electorate office by 5pm on Thursday, February 13, 2020.”

The EOI form is available at: https://keithpitt.com.au/2019-20-volunteer-grants-program-expression-interest-form

More information is available at the Grants Hub website, including the eligibility guidelines: https://www.communitygrants.gov.au/grants/volunteer-grants-activity-%E2%80%93-2019-20-volunteer-grants
