Subscriber only Community groups and not-for-profit organisations throughout the Bundaberg region are encouraged to apply for grants of up to $25,000. Initiated by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and with the support of News Corp, more than $380,000 in grants are available to regions affected by the 2019 and 2020 bushfires. Acting CEO for FRRR Sarah Matthee said the program was designed to assist with the recovery of regional and rural communities. Rural communities are incredibly resilient - each place has unique needs and priorities when it comes to recovery, Ms Matthee said. Working with partners like News Corp, who understand that supporting recovery is not a one-size-fits-all solution, means that we can get funds out for projects that respond to the needs identified by each community - projects that are important for them, as and when they are ready.
