Organisational Background:

Tanya’s Home is a charity based in Frankston, providing supported accommodation and rehabilitation for mothers recovering from addiction. We aim to break the cycle of addiction and family trauma by reuniting mothers with their children. Your work as a Grant Writer will help us secure the funding needed to expand our services and support more families.

Benefits of Volunteering:

Volunteering as a Grant Writer will give you the opportunity to develop your grant writing skills, make a tangible impact on the community, and contribute to the growth of an organisation that supports families in need. You’ll gain valuable experience in non-profit funding and have a direct role in helping Tanya’s Home continue its vital work.

Impact:

Your grant writing efforts will directly support Tanya’s Home’s ability to provide essential services to mothers in recovery. The grants you help secure will fund critical initiatives, from supported accommodation to recovery programs, enabling us to reunite families and offer hope to those most in need.
