Rural futures grants

Now in its 12th year, the program empowers rural and regional communities in NSW by funding projects or initiatives that create enhanced economic and social benefits for the community and its members.

The 2026 program will deliver increased funding, providing up to $30,000 to selected projects that are community-driven, reflect the needs and priorities of the local people, and demonstrate strong potential to create lasting impact.

Applications for the 2026 RAS Foundation Community Futures Grant Program will close on Friday, December 12.

Applicants must be residents of the rural NSW community the project will benefit.
