Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal: aligned with Pinnacle

The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) is the only national foundation specifically focused on ensuring social and economic strength in remote, rural and regional Australia. This is achieved by connecting good will with good purpose, and aligning government, philanthropic and local community purpose and investment.

The Foundation established a partnership with FRRR in FY22, with funding directed towards three programs: Future Drought Fund: Networks to Build Drought Resilience, Disaster Resilient: Future Ready, and Strengthening Rural Communities. All three programs align closely to the Foundation and Pinnacle’s interest in helping to drive sustainable social and environmental change, to secure and maintain the overall health and wellbeing of communities. This helps ensure that they can not only survive, but thrive in changing and challenging circumstances.

In FY24 and continuing into FY25, the partnership is helping to support FRRR’s capacity to grant funding to multiple communities across these programs, rebuilding and strengthening regional communities.

With the cumulative impacts of drought, fires, floods and COVID-19, raising funds locally is extremely challenging in smaller communities, so access to grants is more important than ever.”
