Did you know that there are four main ways to be sure that a gift in your will for FRRR gift reflects your wishes and makes an impact where it matters most to you. Here's how you can do it: 1️⃣ For “small grants”. This gives FRRR some flexibility but ensures that funds are used help remote, rural and regional communities tackle the opportunities and difficulties of the future. 2️⃣ To “support communities to recover from and prepare for natural disasters”. This means funds would be used only for that purpose in the future. 3️⃣ "Where it is needed”. This reflects that priorities might change over time, but FRRR will always provide funding and support to towns and communities beyond our big cities. 4️⃣ You can also “express a wish” to support a particular issue facing remote, rural and regional Australia like youth disengagement or environmental conservation, or perhaps a certain region. FRRR will do all it can to fulfil this wish but will also have some flexibility if things change. Head to our website where you can download a brochure with more information on leaving a gift in your will to FRRR: https://lnkd.in/gATDVtae #RuralAustralia #Philanthropy #Bequests #MakeADifference #GiftInWills
