IRCF Program

The Investing in Rural Community Futures (IRCF) Program is the place based, multi year, capacity building program that is being delivered by FRRR in select communities across NSW.

FRRR

The Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal is known as FRRR (F-triple-R).

IRCF Strategic Priority Areas 

The IRCF program offers support in the four Strategic Priority Areas: People, Systems and Structures, Sector Efficiencies, and Investing in Strategy. These areas outline what the IRCF program can support.

Partnership Grants 

Partnership Grants are the annual grants available to NFPs in each IRCF community. Each community has differing levels of support through grant funding assistance over the lifespan of the program.  

IRCF Local Facilitator  

Through the IRCF program, each community has a dedicated Local Facilitator to provide hands-on assistance to the local not-for-profit sector in accessing IRCF program funding, highlight opportunities for local collaboration and to act as a connector to the capacity building expertise that local not-for-profits require. 

Roadmap

Upon the onset of the program, FRRR worked with the communities to develop an IRCF Community Roadmap to articulate goals and priorities for the program. The intent of this process is to continue to work with the communities under a co-design framework, creating the scaffolding for IRCF to operate in each community.  

Start-Up Grants  

The Start-Up Grants were the first investment of the IRCF program. They were granted to local organisations to prepare the community for the next phase of the IRCF program. Communities were encouraged to work collaboratively to make the most of the funding available to them.
