2022-2023 Volunteer Grant Expression of Interest Now Open

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, has called on community organisations in Dawson to submit their expressions of interest (EOIs) for the Australian Government’s 2022-23 Volunteers Grant.

These grants recognise the vital role that volunteers have within our community and support the positive difference they make on the ground.

“This additional funding will go a long way in helping local organisations and their volunteers to continue their crucial work in supporting the vulnerable and strengthening our community,” Mr Willcox said

“Volunteering acts as an effective pathway to employment, fosters community participation and breaks down the barriers of marginalisation.

“The 2022-23 Volunteer Grant provides organisations with grants of $1,000 to $5,000 to assist with purchasing equipment, training, cover fuel costs, as well as background screening checks for their volunteers.”

EOIs will be accepted until 5.00pm, Friday 23 September. For EOI application form and guidelines, please contact Andrew Willcox’s office on Andrew.Willcox.MP@aph.gov.au
