Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal

About Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal

FRRR is a not-for-profit organisation, we connect common purposes and funding from government, business and philanthropy with the genuine local needs of rural people and places.

Our Vision

A vibrant, resilient and revitalised remote, rural and regional Australia.

FRRR provides funding and capacity building support at the hyper-local level. We have reach, relationships, networks and know-how to align funding, big and small, to community-led solutions that build resilience and long-term viability and vitality of smaller remote, rural, and regional communities across Australia.

We are a trusted partner, driven by the needs and abilities of communities themselves. A big part of our job is to listen and build understanding, to amplify their voices, as well as facilitate funding to meet opportunities.
