Philanthropic organisation, Ingrained Foundation, says it has given $20,000 to support local community organisations in the wake of Cyclone Alfred, with a further $20,000 available.
Jodie Littlewood from the foundation says, ‘The funds have been directed to the Murwillumbah Community Centre, Byron Bay Community Centre, Mullumbimby & District Neighbourhood Centre, and Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF)’.
In addition to this critical support, Ingrained Foundation is also adding $20,000 to its 2025 grants program, which is now open, increasing the total funding pool to $170,000.
Ecological resilience
‘The additional funding aims to assist organisations specifically focused on promoting ecological resilience in response to the environmental impacts resulting from Cyclone Alfred’, she says.
‘We understand that the ecological impacts of large weather events can take time to surface, which is why we are expanding our grants program to support initiatives that enhance ecological resilience’.
Community organisations working on ecological resilience are encouraged to apply for grants through Ingrained Foundation’s grants program.
