Expressions of interest now open for volunteer grants
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 2025-26 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 across the Maranoa.
“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 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.”
Mr Littleproud has just completed a tour through Maranoa, with mobile offices at Texas, Inglewood, Leyburn and Millmerran.
“I enjoyed speaking to locals and having one-on-one conversations about the issues that matter.”
“My office is always available for help, so for more information about grants or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me.”
Expression of interest forms close on March 20 and are available at www.davidlittleproud.com.au
Once completed they can be emailed to david.littleproud.mp@aph.gov.au
