Help for volunteers to pay for petrol
Not-for-profit organisations can receive up to $2,500 to help pay for their volunteers’ petrol bills, as part of the Australian Government’s $21 million Volunteer Grants Program 2008.
Under the program, grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 can also be used to purchase equipment, including computers, tools and air conditioners.
Applications for the grant close on Friday 17 October. Organisations will receive funding by the end of the year.
