The grant ceremony for the 2020 Community Grants Program was held at Lismore Regional Gallery on 12th November. Despite the smoky haze and the threat of fires, those that were able to make it enjoyed a very special evening, full of giving and thanks.
HUGE thanks to Brett Adlington and the Lismore Regional Gallery team for looking after us, and Slate Cafe and Stone & Wood for food and beverage.
Thanks to our speakers Ilze Jaunberzins from Wollumbin Family Support, Tania and Emily Kirkland beneficiaries of Little Wings and Mitch King from the crew at Rekindling the Spirit.
Thanks to our funding partners Yulgilbar Foundation, Portland House, FRRR and our newest member of the NRCF funding family, the James Frizelle Charitable Foundation. THANK YOU also to our long term and recent donors who have given so generously. Big love to Natsky for the amazing photography. And last but not least, to the 2020 Grant recipients – thank you for your dedication to making our community a more compassionate & equitable place to live. Our very best wishes for your inspiring projects in the year ahead.
