About
The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) is asking for applications for the ANZ Seeds of Renewal Grants Program.
This program gives small grants to help make rural communities strong and lively. It aims to help regional Australia grow and succeed.
This program has been running for 22 years and shows how ANZ and FRRR work together to support people and communities.
It’s based on two main ideas:
- Vibrant communities: These are diverse and inclusive, with strong social connections. Everyone can take part and improve their lives.
- Sustainable communities: These communities are innovative and create opportunities that bring long-term economic benefits. This helps communities stay strong economically over time.
