Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR)

In this issue we share with you highlights from our 25th Anniversary partner event held in Melbourne last month. We’ve recently published a report on our 25 years of delivering local solutions for lasting impact. There’s also a handy list of other reports on our website and links to our shared insights in articles on LinkedIn.

Also in this edition:

• A summary of quarterly progress on distributing grants;
• Celebrating partnerships – a conversation with Paul Ramsay Foundation;
• The FRRR team shares insights from their connections with communities and grantseekers; and
• Gippsland Community Foundation – a look at how they are supporting their local community through Fundraising Account partnership with FRRR.

This issue highlights the lasting impact of community-led recovery efforts following the Black Summer bushfires, with inspiring stories of resilience in our Black Summer Bushfires: Five Years On video playlist, and a report on the $26M in donations distributed. Plus we share updates on new appointments, advocacy efforts, conference participation, travel highlights, awards, and the opening of a new office.
