Delivered in partnership with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR), the Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program supports not-for-profit groups in rural, remote and regional Australia to facilitate small-scale, high-impact initiatives.

State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland is encouraging community groups in the electorate to apply.

“Previous recipients like the Kilmore Men’s Shed and community radio programs in Seymour and Broadford show just how valuable this funding can be for groups in our region,” Ms Cleeland said.

“It’s incredibly pleasing to see Nutrien step in where government support too often falls short — backing local, community-led projects that improve lives and strengthen regional towns.”

Since its launch in 2001, the program has funded more than 200 initiatives, supporting local projects such as community facility upgrades, new equipment purchases, events that bring people together and vital service delivery improvements.

Applications for the 2025 program close on Thursday, August 7, with successful recipients to be announced in October.

A free online webinar for interested applicants will be held on Tuesday, July 15, from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.
