Ready Communities
A place for regional, rural and remote change-makers
SOUND FAMILIAR?
When funding stops, so does the momentum.
It’s a vicious cycle for regional communities. Investment arrives, programs run, hope sparks and then the funding cycle ends, a key stakeholder leaves and the momentum stops.
Ready Communities backs local people to lead change in their own community, so the momentum lasts beyond the next grant.
We have created multiple pathways for changemakers and their backers to plug. We call this the Ready Communities Platform.

Who we work with
We work with the people
who show up for their communities.
Community members, business owners, local government, not-for-profits, funders, and government partners. The common thread is a shared belief that something more durable than the next grant is possible.

HOW WE WORK
Change lasts when the conditions are right.
Readiness underpins all of our work. Like tilling the soil before you plant a crop, it’s what makes the results grow. The enabling conditions of readiness show communities what they really need, open up local conversations that matter, and lead to collective action.
