Northern Rivers Community Foundation Information

The Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) connects people and communities to tackle challenging social and environmental problems in the Northern Rivers, NSW. NRCF is building a sustainable legacy for the future. We are a community-based independent foundation where donations are pooled and invested in ethical impact funds. Income from these funds supports our grant programs. This means we can provide a permanent source of funds to the community year after year. As our supporters continue to donate, our investment fund grows, and so does the grant funding. Since 2005, NRCF and our community of donors have granted over $1.9 million to over 300 organisations and projects that support families, young people, children, people with disability, indigenous, homeless and many more, who through no fault of their own are suffering disadvantage. We also recently embarked on funds and projects that support and strengthen our natural environment. In 2020, with the launch of the Resilience and Regeneration Fund, the NRCF is focused on bringing all our community resources together to fund solution-based responses to current challenges faced, as well as helping to build a community that is resilient to disasters and crises. Our mission: To connect people who care, with local causes that matter, to enhance community wellbeing.
