South Burnett not-for-profit groups will receive a total of $168,840 in the latest round of the Federal Government’s Volunteer Grants Program.
The Volunteers Grants Program is a $20 million Federal Government initiative designed to recognise the valuable work undertaken by volunteers in communities across Australia.
Grants of between $1000 and $5000 are available to groups every year.
They are designed to help not-for-profit community organisations support their volunteers and deliver services through the purchase of small equipment items, reimbursement for volunteers’ fuel and transport costs. or to offset the costs of training and background screening checks.
