Purpose
In response to the 2019 / 2020 bushfires, FRRR is conducting a special Bushfire Response round of the program to assist students in rural bushfire-affected communities replace / renew items required for school, such as winter uniforms, shoes and school supplies.
Overview
Working through local community organisations, the FRRR Back to School (BTS) program is a positive and practical program that makes a real difference to the lives of students and families in need at the start of the school year.
In partnership with local community groups, $50 gift vouchers will be provided to families in fire-affected areas.
From previous experience in supporting disaster-affected communities, we know that young people will be significantly affected by the fires, now and into the future.
The objectives of the Back to School Bushfire Response program are to:
- Support students and their families affected by the 2019 / 2020 bushfires;
- Improve access to education through enabling the purchase of items required to attend and engage in school; and
- Build local connections and community resilience through local distribution networks and Community Foundations.
Back to School Bushfire Response vouchers:
- Are to be used by students and their families who have been affected by the 2019 / 2020 summer bushfires to purchase essential school items such as uniforms, clothing, shoes, school bags and school stationery items and other items required to fully participate in school;
- Must not be used for the purchase of alcohol or tobacco, as rewards, raffle prizes, or to purchase goods for resale; and
- Must be treated as cash and cannot be replaced if lost.
Priority
The Bushfire Response program will focus on and prioritise rural bushfire-affected communities within local government areas with a bushfire disaster declaration, from September 2019 to January / February 2020.
Community Foundations and organisations working in bushfire-affected communities, and who are currently part of the Back to School 2020 General program are encouraged to apply.
FRRR considers all eligible applications on their merit. Applications are welcome from any eligible organisation; however, applications will be considered against the following six criteria:
Priority will be given to Community Foundations working in rural, regional and remote areas. Where there is no Community Foundation, FRRR is happy to accept applications from eligible community-based organisations. Applications from a community organisation in an area where an eligible Community Foundation already exists and has also applied to this program may be a lower priority and may be referred to their local Community Foundation. Go to Australian Community Philanthropy to find out if there is a Community Foundation operating in your area.
