Australia Post/ FRRR“Stretching the Envelope”

An Australia Post Small Grants Program for Regional New South Wales

Australia Post has formed a partnership with FRRR to work on its behalf to fund worthwhile children or youth education projects with a literacy, cultural or arts focus, in regional centres of New South Wales.

A small grants program for regional New South Wales communities will offer funding of between $500-$1,000 in grants to benefit people in the regional communities of Kempsey, Casino, Wagga Wagga, Tamworth, Bathurst, Albury and Gosford.

Small, well targeted grants can be useful to regional communities and offer them the opportunity to find their own ways of benefiting young people.
