This is on top of a $35,000 grant they received for repairs through the NSW Governments Community Building Partnerships program in August.
The roof was damaged by a storm earlier in the year.
Member for Goulburn Pru Goward said the extra funding would ensure the property continued to be a safe and comfortable environment.
Ms Goward said she was made aware of the urgent need of works mid-June and was shocked to see the previous condition of the building.
“I approached Minister for Disability Services Ray Williams and began exploring as many options as possible to ensure this vital employment service continues,” Ms Goward said.
Chair of Endeavour Industries Board, Geoff Kettle said the organisation appreciated the support from the NSW Government.
“Endeavour Industries are extremely grateful for all the hard work that Pru Goward has put in to get this extra money - over and above the previous $35,000 - which will allow us to complete the necessary repairs to the roof,” Mr Kettle said.
Endeavour Industries has been supporting the employment of people with disability in Goulburn since it was established in 1968 and currently employs over 70 people, 55 of whom have disability.
It provides meaningful employment opportunities for people with disability to gain essential work skills and improve their confidence.
They also provide core business services to Goulburn residents.
