Mt Burdett Foundation Rural & Regional Advancement Foundation ... Applications Now Open!
Do you want to build your own skills to make a difference in your rural community?
Do you have an idea that will build capacity in WA’s rural and regional communities by empowering people who are in early to mid career?
The Rural and Regional Advancement Foundation is a funding arm of the Mt Burdett Foundation, the concept of the late Chris Reichstein, owner of the Mt Burdett Farm.
Chris was looking to return some of his good fortune to his community and regional Western Australia. The Foundation’s mission is to enrich and empower rural and regional Western Australia, by investing in people to build skills, confidence, opportunity and leadership.
There are two application streams available:
Individual Applications;
Early-mid career people based in regional WA are invited to apply for funding to help build their skills, confidence and/or networks in order to have a greater impact in their community.
You may be such a person or know someone that might be interested. Or you may be a senior person in your community that can see a person with phenomenal potential that just needs a ‘tap on the shoulder’ and some support in order to realise their potential.
Group Applications;
This is for anyone who has a project idea that would involve a group of early-mid career people in regional communities in WA. With the same guidelines as the Individual application, with slightly more requirements as it involves more people. You might have an idea yourself or anyone you know may have an amazing idea of a way to build skills, confidence and/or networks for a group of people in their community(s), to help those people add value and impact in that community(s) – and all that has been stopping them is funding to turn a dream into a reality.
Guidelines and specific application forms can be located on the Mt Burdett Website (See link below)
All applications will be assessed on a monthly basis.
