Community organisations in Ballarat and region can now apply for Australian Government grants worth up to $5,000 to support their volunteers.

Member for Ballarat, Catherine King, today encouraged not-for-profit organisations across the region to apply for the grants worth between $1,000 and $5,000.

“The Government is providing $16 million this year for volunteer grants around the country and our community organisations should make sure they lodge applications for a share,” Ms King said.

“The grants are that little bit of extra support for organisations and their volunteers to continue their great work in our local community.

“Organisations across the region can use the funding to buy much-needed small equipment items, such as computers or first-aid kits.

“They can also be used to contribute to volunteers’ fuel costs, including transport costs for people with disability who are unable to drive, and help fund volunteers’ training courses and background checks.

“Last year, these grants helped 39 community organisations in the region, with a total value of $120,299 being provided.

“For example, the Golden Point Cricket Club and the Clunes Neighbourhood House each received nearly $5000 while the Blackwood Barry’s Reef Landcare Group received $3,370.”

Ms King described the grants as significant in assisting these small organisations to achieve important outcomes in their communities.
“Volunteers are an integral part of this region’s culture, heritage and daily life,” Ms King said.

“This is just one way the Australian Government can thank our selfless volunteers and organisations for their enormous contribution to our community.”

Applications for Volunteer Grants 2013 close at 5pm AEST 24 April 2013. To apply, go to:  www.fahcsia.gov.au
