Granting Deep Dive

Connecting and supporting communities

FRRR offers more than money to community groups, spending time building capacity in communities. While COVID affected our ability to engage face-to-face in communities for much of this year, we stayed connected through online grantseeker workshops and regular phone calls and emails. When restrictions lifted in between lockdowns, the team took every opportunity we could to get back to community, in person. We managed to visit every state at least once, aside from the NT which is on the agenda for FY23.
