Strengthening Rural Communities – Prepare & Recover

The Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) Prepare & Recover program supports communities in remote, rural and regional communities across Australia to implement initiatives that prepare for future climate related impacts, or recover from existing disasters in the medium to long-term timeframe, generally one to ten years after the disaster. 

FRRR recognises that small remote, rural and regional areas are vulnerable to climate change and disasters, and experience capacity challenges in responding to and preparing for disasters where often existing disadvantage is exacerbated. That is why our grant programs focus on building resilience and strengthening communities and actively seek to support a more prepared and climate resilient remote, rural and regional Australia.

Grants up to $25,000 are available.

If you want to discuss a project to support disaster preparedness, resilience or recovery, please call us on 1800 170 020. NOTE: There are three streams of funding available within the Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program: Prepare and Recover and Small and Vital (including Larger Leverage). Organisations may submit their application in only one of these streams per SRC grant round, and any other applications in this round will be considered. If your project does not relate to a Prepare & Recover project, please complete an SRC Small & Vital application.
