Apply now for volunteer grants
MEMBER for Wannon Dan Tehan is encouraging local community organisations across Wannon to apply for funding through the 2024-25 Volunteer Grants.
“These grants can assist with the purchase of essential items that make volunteering in Wannon easier, safer, and more enjoyable, including equipment, training, transport and initiatives to promote volunteering, increase awareness and inspire greater participation,” he said.
“Volunteers are crucial to the fabric of our communities, supporting the operations of social, educational, sporting, cultural, and environmental groups and activities.
“Volunteers are the backbone of our community, and by continuing to support one other and work together, we are creating a stronger and safer Wannon.”
Grants ranging from $1000 to $5000 are available to assist community organisations in supporting the valuable work of volunteers.
Expressions of interest close at 5pm on Friday, January 17 and interested groups should contact Dan Tehan’s office on 1300 131 692.
