The “why” we come together…
We exist to support and cultivate a more resilient and fulfilling future for the Shire of Ravensthorpe.
The future we want to see…
A community built by enduring self-determination.
Who we need to become to realise that future…
The investors in a proactive community.
Our community already has the ideas, knowledge, and skills it needs to solve its own problems. We now need to invest in those behaviours intentionally.
How we will become investors in a proactive community…
We want to see our community continue to embed the behaviours and attitudes that have led to its enduring success. As a result, the RHFF has identified key behaviours of a proactive community which all applications will be assessed on.

ANNUAL BURSARY AND GRANT PROGRAMS
The Ravensthorpe Hopetoun Future Fund was established in 2011. Every year, the Ravensthorpe Hopetoun Future Fund invites individual residents of the Shire of Ravensthorpe to apply for financial support in the form of a Bursary of up to $5,000 ex GST. Bursary applications open around September each year.
The Ravensthorpe Hopetoun Future Fund also invites the Shire of Ravensthorpe community to submit grant applications each year. The grant applicant and type of project for which funding is sought must meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Grant Application Guidelines 2024. To apply for a grant, applicants must submit a Grant Application Form 2024 between 1 May 2024 and 12 June 2024 (closing at 4pm).
