 Suncorp has partnered with FRRR to enable the delivery of the Suncorp Rebuilding Futures program.

This program seeks to support communities to strengthen their resilience through long-term recovery from a significant natural disaster by undertaking community-identified and community-led long-term recovery activities for public benefit.

The Rebuilding Futures program encourages remote, rural and regional communities to build back better to reduce the impact of future disasters on community wellbeing and physical infrastructure.

The first grant round is for communities in New South Wales and South-East Queensland impacted by the March 2021 flood events. Grants of up to $15,000 will be made for applications that are clearly focused on supporting the long-term recovery and resilience building of communities impacted by these events.
