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.
