How do you capture the energy, pride and enthusiasm of a community? At the
South Shoalhaven Community Expo, we discovered that it starts with creating a space where people
can reconnect, share their stories, and reignite the spark that makes our local
area so special.
FRRR’s TTTT impact report highlights the program outcomes and makes recommendations on effective in-drought support.
The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal acknowledges the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of Jaara country (Bendigo) where we are based, and extends our acknowledgement to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations where we fund organisations and activities. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and to the continuation of the custodial, cultural and educational practices of Australia’s First People.

Jill Karena, FRRR’s Place Portfolio Lead, explores how the needs met through small grants programs address areas of disadvantage and basic quality of life in communities with little visibility to funders and policymakers. These programs are well suited to co-funding approaches that enable collective contributions to achieve more together and create leverage for funders and communities.
