Ingrained Foundation is running its fifth annual grants program, with a funding pool of $150,000.
Some of the organisations to have received a grant through the program last year were Fingal Heads Coastcare, Dementia Inclusive, Bangalow Koalas, Human Nature Adventure Therapy, Shedding Community Project, Green Heroes, Coolamon Community, Rainforest Rangers and Queer Family.
This year, the foundation is encourageing Northern Rivers not-for- profits with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status to apply for grants between $10,000 and $30,000, with the stated aim of improving social and environmental wellbeing in the region,.
Executive director Jasmin Daly says the organisation is looking for an initiative that addresses one or more of the following impact areas: community capacity building; social cohesion; ecological resilience and climate action; and systems change and social innovation.
‘Grassroots not-for-profits are the glue of our community and it is our intention to support them in being more impactful and effective,’ Ms Daly says.
