Volunteering Victoria, the Institute of Project Management and the Victorian Government have produced the a State of Volunteering Report, the first of its kind in Victoria. The report provides critical information about the value of volunteering in Victoria. 1. In 2019, 2.3 million Victorians aged 15 and over – 42.1% of the adult population volunteered. 2. Victorian volunteers contributed $58.1 billion dollars of value to our economy last year, including: - $19.4 billion in costs that would incurred if it was necessary to replace the labour that volunteers contribute to Victoria
- $8.2 billion contribution to Victoria’s Gross State Product (GSP).
3. Collectively, the findings show that investing in volunteering provides a net return of approximately $3.70 on every dollar invested. |
For those of you who are relatively new to Glenferrie Rotary, Education CHANCES is the charity that receives 50% of the net profits from the Boroondara Farmers market. These funds are used to help provide scholarships to talented secondary and tertiary students who live in Boroondara, or study at a government secondary school or tertiary institute in Boroondara, and who come from a proven low income background.
