To improve this offering, the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) will provide Gloucester Creatives a $7,648 grant to “expand organisational capacity by installing air conditioning to create a comfortable gallery and workshop environment for visitors and volunteers”.

FRRR Place Portfolio Lead Jill Karena said the Foundation is committed to empowering local groups and organisations to develop and lead projects that best meet the needs of their community.

“We know that for every state, region and town, priorities will be different, and we are here to work with local groups to help them address their needs and strive to celebrate their vibrancy and acknowledge their tenacity.

“The projects we fund truly matter and have a meaningful impact.

“Our Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program proves that a grant, no matter how small, can make a big impact in a regional place.

“Although innovative and resilient, local not-for-profit organisations just don’t have the resources to withstand the acute impacts that wide-sweeping policy changes can have on remote, rural and regional Australia.”

Since its inception in 2019, FRRR’s SRC program has been a source of funding for more than 2,360 remote, rural and regional communities, distributing more than $27.4 million to NFPs across every state and territory in Australia.

“Our funding is often the critical catalyst that community groups need to get their projects off the ground.

“A grant from FRRR can encourage other organisations to invest in local solutions or can be used to leverage the additional funding their project needs,” Ms Karena explained.
