Expressions of Interest (EOI) close Thursday, 2 April 2026, 5:00 pm AWST

The Australian Government is continuing to recognise the efforts of volunteers and community organisations, announcing the opening of the new $10 million Volunteer Grant Round 2025-26.

In Pearce, grants are now available between $1,000 to $5,000 for eligible not-for-profit community organisations who rely on the work of volunteers.

Volunteers are the backbone of our communities, and the Albanese Labor Government to date has invested over $85 million to support the volunteer sector and help connect people with opportunities in their local community.

Please email [email protected] to express your interest. Once you receive the form, please make sure it is completed and returned to our office by close of business on Thursday, April 2nd. Successful EOIs will form a shortlist of organisations invited by the Department of Social Services to formally apply for the grants.

Please note that the final assessments and funding decisions rest with the Department of Social Services. While nominations by Tracey Roberts MP are an important step, they do not guarantee funding approval.

Further information about the grants including the Grant Guidelines can be found here – Forecast Opportunity View - FO2025-4700: GrantConnect

For questions or support in your application, please email [email protected]

More information on Volunteer Grants is available on the Department of Social Services website.
