FRRR offers Not-for-Profit Fundraising Accounts as a way to make FRRR’s unique tax status available to community organisations, to effectively and efficiently address the disadvantage rural, regional and remote communities face in accessing philanthropic funding.

FRRR’s Not-for-Profit Fundraising Accounts enable partnering community organisations to fundraise tax effectively and access philanthropic support for FRRR to fund agreed specified projects in line with FRRR’s charitable purposes – in the areas of Arts and Culture, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health and Wellbeing, as well as Social Inclusion and Social Welfare.

Accounts can be used to fundraise for a wide variety of undertakings, including but not limited to the operation of programs, provision of infrastructure, and for charitable organisations, to build the capacity of the organisation as a whole, through activities such as: purchase of buildings; supporting organisational planning, evaluation, communications or fundraising capacity; upgrading IT equipment; professional development of staff / volunteer skills & capability – almost everything not-for-profits need support to do!

Accounts can also be used to work on region-wide issues requiring a longer-term, more flexible response via collective impact projects, community planning processes and engagement, outreach and education activities.

This Account opens up access to philanthropic funders as well as other donors who may be enticed by a tax-deductible receipt for their gift of $2 or more.
