Grants of up to $5,000 for non-profit organisations
Federal Member for Curtin Julie Bishop today encouraged local non-profit organisations to apply for grants of up to $5,000 to purchase equipment, cover the cost of petrol, provide training courses and undertake background checks under the 2010 Volunteer Grants program.“Since 2001, non-profit organisations in Curtin have been able to apply for grants to support their work and in recognition of the valuable contribution volunteers make to their communities,” Ms Bishop said.
“This funding provides welcome support to local voluntary organisations who contribute so much to help our community.”
Local community organisations can apply for a grant of between $1,000 and $5,000 to help purchase a variety of equipment to assist the work of volunteers.
In previous years, organisations have used the grants to purchase items such as computers, first aid kits, gardening equipment, microwaves and printers.
