The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal has grants available for up to $20,000 to support wellbeing in rural areas.
The “In a Good Place” program is inviting applications for community-driven projects that strengthen the mental, social and/or emotional health and wellbeing of people living in remote, rural and regional places, particularly in farming communities.
Priorities include increasing mental health education and understanding to reduce stigma; supporting people to build connections and reduce social isolation; and encouraging, supporting and enabling people to seek help for their mental health.
Thanks to FRRR’s donor partners, community groups and not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) can apply for grants through two streams of funding:
- Community wellbeing: For projects that focus on strengthening the general mental health and wellbeing of people in remote, rural and regional communities.
- Farmers and farming communities: For projects specifically supporting the mental health and wellbeing of farmers and the communities they live in.
Groups seeking support must first lodge an Expression of Interest by February. 14.
After being shortlisted, final applications are due on March 11.
- More information is available online
