Community Futures Grant

Posted on 30 December 2022

The RAS Foundation supported nine communities across rural and regional NSW this year, with our Community Futures Grants providing $154,000 in needed funding. The projects selected aim to bring local communities together and provide them with the tools to become economically independent, with projects required to provide positive long and shortterm benefits to their area. Due to the impact of flooding across many rural and regional areas in 2022, there has been an increase in demand for labourers, which has made it difficult for some of these communities to get their project started and completed. One community that managed to overcome this is the Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association, who purchased and customised a trailer to be used for BBQ fundraising. Likewise, Inverell Show purchased a new grandstand in preparation for their agricultural show in February 2023.

Grants were awarded to:

• Bellingen Showground

• Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association

• Crookwell Show Society

• Grenfell Pony Club

• Hay Show Society

• Inverell Show Society

• Tullamore Show Society

• Ungarie War Memorial Hall

• Wagga Wagga Show Society
