Crown Reserves Improvement Fund (CRIF)
 
The Crown Reserves Improvement Fund (CRIF) supports Crown land managers (CLMs) by providing funding for repairs, maintenance and improvements on Crown reserves. The funding aims to benefit the community, boost our economy and contribute to the cultural, sporting and recreational life of NSW.

The CRIF is a self-sustaining program that is supported by income generated from loan repayments and interest, leases and licences on Crown land, and levies from the operation of coastal Crown caravan parks.

The FY2023/24 CRIF funding round is closed for assessment. Announcements of successful applicants is expected in May 2024.
 
$14 million has been allocated for general projects, pests and weeds and an additional $2 million has been set aside for loans. The funding aims to benefit the community, boost our economy and contribute to the cultural, sporting and recreational life of NSW.
 

Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) has been connecting rural Australia and philanthropy since 2000.

The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) is a not-for-profit organisation that harnesses the power of collective investment between government, business and philanthropy to improve the lives of those living in rural, regional and remote Australia. 

FRRR is the only national organisation offering small, discretionary funds to small regional communities across Australia. They are both a grant maker and a grant seeker - distributing funds through a number of programs for the benefit of rural and regional Australia. They play a critical role as a connector, working across the philanthropic sector as a conduit for philanthropy to rural communities. They work hard to identify the ways that philanthropy can best support communities – cutting out the noise and deepening the focus to understand what will really make a difference.
