The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) has launched the 20th Round of Tackling Tough

they need to support one another through the ongoing effects of the drough
Note: Stage 1 applications for the $150K tier must
be received by 5pm AEDT, Tuesday 15 December 2020.
The Tackling Tough Times Together (TTTT) program
gives drought-affected communities across rural, regional and remote Australia
the opportunity to access funds that benefit their immediate and long-term
needs. Grants are available for grassroots, community-led initiatives that
directly benefit local communities.
Objectives
The objectives of the program are to:
- Reduce social isolation by
facilitating strong social cohesion and connection;
- Support and engage the
community in leadership development and skills training;
- Support opportunities for
social and educational participation and address disadvantage caused by
the drought, for children and young people;
- Reduce volunteer fatigue and
build the capacity, capability and sustainability of local not-for-profit
organisations to provide support to their communities, particularly where
they are playing an increased role during the drought; and
- Support local economic recovery
or renewal through projects that stimulate economic activity and cash-flow
within communities.
