Tenders/Expressions of Interest - Volunteer Small Equipment Grants

Source: Commonwealth Department of Family and Community Services
Posted: 1-2-2005

This initiative builds on the success of the International Year of Volunteers, 2001 Small Equipment Grants and the Volunteer Small Equipment Grants 2003 and 2004 which recognised the valuable work that volunteers do in local communities.

Under the Volunteer Small Equipment Grants 2005, priority will be given to organisations that:
  • have relatively small operating budgets with limited funding sources and a relatively high volunteer to staff ratio;
  • demonstrate that their requested equipment will provide maximum benefit to all their volunteers by making their work safer, easier and/or more enjoyable;
  • demonstrate that the organisation's work supports families and/or strengthens their local communities;
  • have requested equipment that will have maximum benefit in the local community for a small outlay; and
  • have not received funding under VSEG 2003 or VSEG 2004.

For further information or to request an application form be posted to you, please phone the toll free Volunteer Small Equipment Grants 2005 Hotline on 1800 153 477. Organisations with special needs may contact the department on TTY 1800 055 001.

Applications close 5pm, 4 March 2005.
