The Australian Volunteers Program Impact Fund offers small grants of up to AUD$10,000 to partner organisations of the program.
This initiative is intended to help strengthen the capacity and work of existing partner organisations during a time when the program is unable to provide the usual volume of support through in country volunteer assignments. Small grants can make a big difference.
This round is seeking to fund projects or organisations that support Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) or the overall organisational strengthening of a partner organisation. The GEDSI aspect of this round will provide funding to organisations to implement projects that have outcomes in gender equality, women’s rights and empowerment, disability inclusion or other areas of social inclusion such as advocacy, LGBTIQ+ or indigenous rights.
