2016 Community Foundations Forum
Scholarship Expression of Interest
In 2016FRRRcontinues to support networking and professional development for the Community Foundation sector.
One way that FRRR delivers on this isthrough the provision of Scholarships that assist with travel and registration costs to the National Community Foundation Forum.In 2016FRRR is offering a limited number of partial and full scholarships. Priority will be given to Community Foundations who have greater travel costs. FRRR’s preference is to support only one representative from a Community Foundation, in order to share support across a larger number of Community Foundations.
Eligibility:
· Be an employee or Board member of a rural, regional or remote based Community Foundation in Australia.
· Participate in the entire forum.
Criteria:
· Applicants must demonstrate financial need – provision of audited financials and a currentfinancial year-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheet is required.
