Insights and Impact
After 25 years, we’ve learnt a lot about rural communities, about their challenges and opportunities.
The 2,000 funding requests and subsequent conversations our team has each year helps us to keep our finger on the pulse of the needs of remote, rural and regional communities.
We know each situation is different and each community is unique. That’s why we prioritise spending time in communities and speaking with local leaders.
Through these conversations, we gain direct insights that inform our work, improve our practice and influence more targeted and relevant support for communities. We share this feedback, through articles, reports and submissions, with policymakers, with other communities and funders, so they too have ideas, knowledge and the benefit of lived experience. Wherever we can, we bring the voices of remote, rural and regional Australia to the table.
We also regularly share stories from community groups about the impact of the projects we have funded.
