With support from our long-time partner, The Sally Foundation, FRRR awarded $12,000 through three grants to not-for-profit community organisations in the Mildura region. These grants are helping bring to life ideas generated during the Mildura Takeover Summit.
The FRRR ABC Takeover Youth Catalyst Grants empower communities to act on innovative ideas proposed by local youth at a leadership summit. Over the course of a week, up to 36 young people collaborate to explore the issues that matter to them and devise creative solutions. Local not-for-profits are then invited to apply for funding to work alongside these young idea-makers, bringing their concepts to life.
These grants provide a pathway for youth-led ideas to be piloted in their communities, creating opportunities for young people to connect with local organisations and have their voices heard on issues important to them.
