More than $1.2M in grants awarded
Nearly 100 remote, rural and regional communities across Australia are set to benefit from another $1.2 million in grants, thanks to FRRR’s flagship Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program.
Ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, these grants will empower 99 not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) to implement a wide range of projects that will enable their communities to be more vibrant, resilient and sustainable places to live, work and invest.
Eighty communities will share $688,444 for small and vital projects such as improvements to community infrastructure and landscaping; festivals and events that reduce social isolation, encourage tourism and boost the local economy; workshops that support cultural healing, creative expression, community safety and celebrate diversity; and training and resources to build NFP capacity and support volunteers.
A further $235,734 will support 12 communities to recover from recent disasters and prepare for future events. Projects include training in preparedness and recovery strategies; improving the accessibility and safety of crisis event infrastructure; and building organisational capacity to address food security.
Seven communities are sharing the remaining $276,348, for Larger Leverage projects that will help narrow the digital divide for adults and older community members through initiatives that offer online health management, improved digital literacy and increased online safety.
Jill Karena, Head of Granting at FRRR, said that programs like Strengthening Rural Communities are a vital source of funding for the hundreds of remote and rural NFPs that continue to fill the service gaps in their communities.
“Locally-led, grassroots organisations are key to ensuring vital community services continue to be delivered. That takes committed volunteers, and we are seeing more NFPs working hard to attract and retain volunteers by making improvements to amenities, purchasing new equipment and offering training and mentorship. This not only makes things easier and more efficient for current volunteers but helps to encourage a new generation of people to step up, which is critical to the sustainability of these organisations,” Ms Karena explained.
“We are also seeing NFPs doing more to address service gaps for children and young people living in remote, rural and regional Australia. This includes finding innovative ways to attract staff for daycare centres, providing appropriate facilities for playgroups and youth activities, offering outreach programs and further education, as well as better job opportunities.
“This round we’re also pleased to be able to support several communities that are exploring new technologies and educating locals on online safety and security, so that they are better equipped to embrace these technologies. This is such a critical step in terms of narrowing the digital divide, especially for older residents.
“The commitment to growth and willingness to do things differently is also evident in the applications we received from groups looking to deepen their knowledge and connection to First Nations culture. We’re pleased to support a number of culturally-informed initiatives that support First Nations people’s healing, mental health and wellbeing, as well as opportunities for the wider community to integrate traditional language and ecological knowledge into school-based wildlife education, yarning circles, intergenerational learning in preschools, or including First Nations art in historical museums.
“The initiatives we’ve funded in this round of grants really showcase the diversity of needs of remote, rural and regional communities. This is why flexible funding programs, like SRC, are so critical to the sustainability and vibrancy of our inland communities. We are grateful to all our partners who share our commitment and make these grants possible,” Ms Karena said.
FRRR always accepts applications to this program, which typically awards funds four times a year. Local NFPs and community groups are encouraged to review the program guidelines and apply. More information about the SRC program is available at https://frrr.org.au/funding/src-small-vital/. The SRC program is collaboratively supported by donors, ranging from private individuals to larger foundations, who are acknowledged on the FRRR website. This round also saw the first grants funded from the returns on the FRRR Small Grants Fund corpus, which was established in 2023. There are always more eligible grants than we can fund, so if you would like to help us fund more funding-ready projects, you can donate at www.frrr.org.au/donate.
