Volunteers and their organisations across Leichhardt will receive part of the Australian Government’s $10 million Volunteer Grants to support the crucial role that they play within our community.
The 2022 Volunteer Grants provide organisations with grants of between $1000 to $5000 to help organisations buy small equipment for volunteers or reimbursing volunteer fuel, transport or training costs, or support promotional activities.
Volunteering plays an important role in Australia’s social landscape as a proven pathway to get people into jobs, reduce marginalisation and increase community participation
Federal Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch today announced $66,225 in funding available for community organisations.
“Community organisations can only assist off the backbone of dedicated volunteers, and I am proud to be a part of an electorate who has many, many of these residents.”
“I encourage groups to apply and to contact my office if you have any questions at all.”
