About the organisation

Organisation Name : Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal

Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) is a national charitable foundation focussed on increasing equity of opportunity in remote, rural and regional Australia. It adopts a partnership and leverage model of philanthropy which harnesses the collective resources of philanthropy, business, and governments to support rural communities to be vibrant, adaptive, and sustainable. Established in 2000, FRRR has distributed more than $135m to over 12,000 projects across Australia to date.

Our strategy is focussed on improving outcomes in the areas of PEOPLE, PLACE, & DISASTER RESILIENCE AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS.  FRRR believes that targeted philanthropic investment and collaboration in these areas will build more vibrant, sustainable, and adaptive remote, rural and regional communities - and a more equitable and prosperous Australia as a whole.

FRRR’s principles of engagement are guided by an understanding that rural, regional, and remote (RRR) communities are in a constant cycle of development and adjustment. As such we support community-led approaches that enable them to:

·       Seed & Strengthen by enabling RRR communities to support and resource core social and physical infrastructure;

·       Adapt & Evolve by building adaptive capacity across communities and enhancing their ability to cope and adjust to disruption; and/or

·       Innovate & Renew by supporting communities to test, scale and embed game-changing initiatives.

To achieve this, we:

·       Grant & Develop to provide remote, rural and regional communities with access to grants and capacity building resources and support to address inequity and create opportunities;

·       Leverage & Broker to harness FRRR's tax status, knowledge, and networks to support innovation, self-generation, and unlock more giving to address remote, rural and regional community needs; and

·       Connect Insights & Learning for policymakers, communities, and funders to connect them with ideas, knowledge and lived experience to influence more targeted and relevant support for rural, regional, and remote communities

Our core values centre around collaboration and constant improvement. We have created a dynamic, flexible, and supportive work environment. FRRR is an Equal Opportunity employer.

FRRR is committed to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees. To achieve this FRRR strives to ensure that employees are not required or permitted to undertake work for which they are not suited and we take appropriate measures to allow work to be done in a manner that will not put any person at risk to their health and safety. As such, new incumbents to this role will be required to complete a Pre-existing Injury Declaration relating to the job requirements.
