Foundation For Rural And Regional Renewal

About

FRRR is the only national foundation specifically focused on ensuring the social and economic strength of Australia's remote, very remote and rural communities. They harness goodwill to create vibrant, resilient, empowered and sustainable communities, particularly those that are under-served or structurally excluded. The foundation supports locally-led initiatives that build community capability, momentum and long-term resilience.

Giving Philosophy

FRRR values locally-driven solutions and community-led initiatives, understanding both the big picture and local nuances. They prioritise building long-term capability, resilience and sustainability rather than short-term fixes, often reaching some of the smallest and most remote communities. Their approach emphasises collaboration and amplifying support into lasting impact.

Tips for Applicants

Approach FRRR with clearly articulated local community needs and demonstrate how the project will build long-term resilience and capability. Highlight local community leadership and show how the initiative addresses systemic challenges in remote, rural or regional areas. For disaster recovery funding, focus on recovery and preparedness for events between 2019-2025.
