Flood Relief Fund

A grassroots community-led relief fund which supports local not-for-profit community organisations working on the ground in flood recovery across the whole Northern Rivers region.

Formed by the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) and Byron Community Centre, the fund was established in response to the devastating March 2022 floods. A Grants Committee was formed to identify local needs based on research by NRCF to distribute the funds for the quickest and most effective support. All donations are tax deductible.

Projects include food pantries and meal delivery services, neighbourhood centres, temporary housing, Indigenous programs, wildlife rescue, disability and trauma services, pregnancy and young family support.

The fundraising campaign was record-breaking for the Northern Rivers region, totalling over $1.7 million.
