Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) Future Drought
Fund’s Networks to Build Drought Resilience - Grants program now open
Funded by
the Australian Government and a range of other donor partners, the program
focuses on strengthening social connectedness, building social capital and
funding transformative local initiatives that will enable agricultural
communities to be more prepared for the impacts of drought.
In total, there is $2.9 million available to not-for-profits and community
groups to support grassroots projects that help build resilience within local
networks and enhance the ability to respond to drought.
The grants can fund community-led initiatives such as events, projects,
activities, training and small-scale infrastructure that will strengthen
community engagement, networking and preparedness for drought. For example,
this could include:
- Creating or strengthening networks, such as farmers, young-farmers or women in agriculture;
- Training or upskilling in tools and techniques to cope with future climate events;
- Addressing mental health and wellbeing; or
- Small-scale upgrades to facilities that make it easier to come together.
To learn more about the program, the types of initiatives the program can support, how to apply, and to download the guidelines, visit the Networks website.
