Targeted Impact

...small to medium grants for projects that focus on major issues causing disadvantage and inequity

The programs under the Targeted Impact stream provide grants for projects that respond to and address issues causing or influencing disadvantage and inequity in rural, regional and remote communities across Australia. FRRR and our partners seek to support projects that are preventative as well as responsive in their approaches, and seek to understand the need and evidence base for the project, its approach, and intended outcomes in grant applications.

Examples of the focus of targeted impact programs include community-led approaches to improving mental health outcomes, supporting communities to adapt and recover from the impacts of drought and natural disasters, investing in youth leadership, and improving access to primary healthcare.

Programs in this stream are typically time-limited rather than ongoing. Grants are typically above $15,000 and for single year or at times multi-year projects. Each program has its own discrete objectives, parameters, and focus areas. Specific details about each program can be found on their respective pages. For all programs, please read the information and program guidelines carefully and lodge an application to the one you feel is most appropriate, rather than make multiple applications.

Details of the Targeted Impact programs currently available are below.

We acknowledge and extend our appreciation to the Dja Dja Wurrung People, the Traditional Owners of the land on which our Foundation is located in Bendigo, and to the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our programs are assessed and delivered. We pay respect to their ancient and continuing cultures, their connections to the land, and to the Elders, past, present and emerging.
