Impact Fund small grants

Small grants to support our partners with their vital work.

Three people are sitting at a desk in an office, laptops, cups of tea, and maps are visible. They are all smiling at the cameara.

Small grants can make a big difference. 

The Impact Fund offers grants of up to AUD$10,000 to partner organisations of the Australian Volunteers Program.

There are no Impact Fund rounds currently open. We will update this page about future grant opportunities as they become available.

The Impact Fund aims to:

  • Strengthen and support partner oganisations’ capacity to identify community needs and deliver their services in response to those needs
  • Draw on practical support from volunteers assigned to partner organisations to help deliver Impact Fund-funded projects
  • Strengthen links between partner organisations and the program’s professional networks and communities.
