Volunteer Grant Program
Our Volunteer Grants Program will support projects to engage volunteers, broaden the volunteer base, and strengthen volunteering in local communities within Murrindindi Shire. These grants assist the work of local community organisations by reducing barriers for volunteers, increasing participation in volunteering and increases community capacity.
The objectives of Volunteer Grants are to:
- help not-for-profit community organisations to support the efforts of their volunteers
- encourage, support and increase participation in volunteering
- build volunteer management capability within organisations; and
- support the operations of volunteer driven grass roots community organisations.
Individual projects up to $1,500 will be considered from eligible organisations.
The total funds available for this grant round in 2025 is $25,000
The Volunteer Grants Program is open from 31 March until 30 April 2025
