Federal Member for Capricornia, Michelle Landry, is thrilled to announce that the latest
round of the highly popular Volunteer Grants program is now open for Expressions of
Interest. Over $66,000 in funding is available to support local community groups and
their dedicated volunteers.
The 2024-25 Volunteer Grants are focused on funding items or services that enhance
the work of volunteers and support activities that benefit the development and
wellbeing of children under 18 years of age.
Ms Landry highlighted the critical role volunteers play in strengthening our
communities.
“Our volunteers are the backbone of our society. They are resilient, selfless and work
tirelessly to make our community a better place to live,” Ms. Landry said.
The grants provide funding between $1,000 and $5,000 to help organisations purchase
essential items such as laptops, tablets, electronic payment devices, training, or
equipment that supports volunteer-run initiatives.
Ms Landry expressed confidence that these grants would have a meaningful impact.
“Whether it’s a not-for-profit needing a new laptop for bookkeeping or a local football
club requiring portable goals, the Volunteer Grants program provides vital financial
support to improve these organisations and the work they do,” she said.
Ms Landry also extended her gratitude to local volunteers for their unwavering
dedication.
“To the volunteers of Central Queensland, I say thank you for your tireless efforts to
make our communities better places to live and raise families.
“Programs like the Volunteer Grants are just one way we can give back to those who give so much of their time to support others.”
Community groups interested in applying are encouraged to contact the office of
Michelle Landry MP at Michelle.Landry.MP@aph.gov.au or call 4922 6604.
