Volunteering Queensland is happy to announce the recipients of the ‘Strong and Resilient Communities Activity (SARC)— Small Grants Program‘ for Volunteer-Involving Organisations.
The grant will assist grassroots organisations in strengthening volunteering through capability and capacity building.
Organisations could apply for grants ($10,000 – $20,000) for one-off, time-limited projects that build volunteer management capability, and help the organisation support the social and economic participation of vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
The SARC Grants are funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, and administered by the State and Territory volunteering peak bodies.
