FEDERAL Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local community groups for the latest round of volunteer grants.
Mr Chester encouraged local volunteer organisations to apply for funding to support the work of volunteers.
“Throughout Gippsland we have thousands of volunteers who dedicate their time and support the community,” Mr Chester said.
“This funding is designed to assist organisations to ensure they can continue to provide for and support the community safely and appropriately.”
Mr Chester said local organisations can apply for grants of between $1000 and $5000.
“These grants can help pay for equipment, reimburse fuel costs, expenses associated with training and transport or for promoting awareness and increasing participation in volunteering,” he said.
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community and by continuing to help each other and work together, we are building a stronger and safer Gippsland.”
Interested organisations must submit an EOI to be considered for a grant.
Expressions of Interest must be submitted by 5pm, Friday September 23, 2022.
Successful applicants will then be invited to complete a full submission.
Volunteer organisations can submit an EOI form via Mr Chester’s website.
Completed forms must be submitted by 5pm, Friday September 23, 2022.
