Volunteers are at the heart of our community, and the Volunteer Grants program helps local organisations continue the invaluable work they do to support others.

The program provides grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 to eligible not-for-profit organisations to help cover the costs of volunteering, including equipment, training and volunteer-led activities.

Since being elected, I have been proud to deliver more than $542,000 in Volunteer Grants funding to community groups across Dobell.

Thank you to the many local organisations that submitted an Expression of Interest for the 2025-26 Volunteer Grants round. Expressions of Interest have now closed, and shortlisted organisations have submitted their full applications to the Department for assessment.

Grant agreements and funding payments are expected to be finalised by October 2026.

If you'd like information about current grant opportunities or support identifying funding programs for your organisation, please contact my office on (02) 4353 0127 or email [email protected].
