Funding to Support Volunteers across Victoria
Victorian Volunteer Small Support Grants of up to $5000 are now available to not-for-profit organisations with relatively small operating budgets.
The grants are aimed at organisations wanting to increase the diversity of their volunteers and/or involve or encourage new volunteers.
Some examples of activities or projects which could be:
· a mentoring and awareness-raising program to involve people with disabilities as new volunteers in community organisations
· a recruitment plan and advertising campaign, designed in partnership with an Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, to involve volunteers from rural New Arrival communities
· provide essential equipment as part of a campaign to recruit and train more local surf life saving volunteers
To apply for a Volunteer Small Volunteer Grant visit www.grants.dpcd.vic.gov.au or call the Grants Information Line on 1300 366 356 Applications can be submitted at any time throughout the year.
