Leader of The Nationals and Member for Maranoa David Littleproud is encouraging the electorate’s eligible volunteer groups to submit their expressions of interest for a share of The Australian Government’s 2024-25 Volunteer Grants Program.
Grants ranging from $1000 to $5000 are on offer to eligible groups from across the Maranoa electorate and can be used for essential equipment such as telecommunications devices or towards supporting local volunteers.
Mr Littleproud said the Volunteer Grants Program has made a significant impact for many local organisations with a total of 23 groups from across the Maranoa electorate benefitting from the program’s most recent round of grants.
“Volunteers are the backbone of our communities and grants like these give them the helping hand they need to continue doing their life-changing work,” Mr Littleproud said.
“The Maranoa electorate is blessed to have so many incredible volunteer organisations that dedicate time and effort to helping others.
“I encourage all of our electorate’s wonderful volunteer groups to submit their expressions of interest to my offices in Dalby, Warwick, and Roma, or via email, to ensure they get a chance at their fair share of the funds.”
Expressions of interest close at 5 pm Friday, January 3.
Expression of interest forms are available in person at Mr Littleproud’s offices in Warwick, Dalby, Roma, and Longreach, online via Community Hub – David Littleproud | Federal Member for Maranoa and once complete can be emailed to littleproud.mp@aph.gov.au
