Investing in people as a catalyst for a thriving Burnett Inland

RED EARTH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Red Earth Community Foundation is a non-profit organisation in the Burnett Inland, encompassing the South Burnett, Cherbourg, and North Burnett regions.

Red Earth's mission is to invest in people as a catalyst for the Burnett Inland region to thrive into the future.

RED EARTH KEY INITIATIVES:

The annual Red Earth Community Leadership Program - Now in its 11th year, and with over 220 Alumni, Red Earth's flagship leadership program invests in the personal and professional development of those in the Burnett Inland (and beyond).

The Red Earth Rural Health Pathways Fund - A new community-led initiative designed to support the next generation of rural doctors, nurses and allied health professionals by providing direct financial support to Burnett Inland students completing the final stages of their medical or health qualifications.

Disaster Resilient: Future Ready Program - In partnership with FRRR, Red Earth is delivering the DR:FR program to six small communities across the Burnett Inland, increasing disaster preparedness and strengthening resilience.

There are also a number of regional projects being rolled out as part of this project.

The organisation's philanthropic structure - Red Earth facilitates fundraising initiatives that meet the needs of the Burnett Inland, i.e. the recent South Burnett Mental Health Golf Challenge which raised $70,000 for mental health initiatives in the region.
