Funding Program Calendar

FRRR works by attracting support (cash and in kind) from businesses and other trusts and foundations, private individuals and communities. These donations are then distributed through a number of programs as grants for the benefit of rural and regional Australia.

Communities and projects wanting support send in written applications. These are then assessed. The FRRR board then approves projects, according to available resources and FRRR staff distribute grants accordingly. At the completion of each project, recipients are required to provide a project report.
