Grants for Radio Stations
Public Media Innovation Fund Round Four
- The Public Media Innovation Fund Round Four is seeking to make investments in a small number of educationally-oriented projects that can support public broadcasting's role to increase economic and financial literacy.
Economy Response Grant Program
- CPB has created the Economy Response Grant program in response to the widespread economic downturn, and is open to all CPB-qualified public radio and television stations. The program seeks to support stations’ efforts to help their communities through initiatives that establish collaboration with community partners and that raise awareness of the impact the current economic crisis is having on the station’s community.
Engaging Communities on the Economy
- The Engaging Communities on the Economy Grants may be used by stations to convene civic leaders, community groups and citizens in productive dialogue - in person, on-air or online - addressing regional and local economic issues. Grants may be used to plan or conduct collaborative projects in response to identified community needs related to the financial crisis (e.g., joblessness, bankruptcies, credit card debt).
Digital Radio Conversion Fund
- The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, with guidance from the Digital Consultation Panel which is comprised of leadership from public radio and television membership organizations and representatives of the station community, has recommended an additional allocation of funds for the conversion of digital radio transmitters. Transmitter conversion grants are the highest priority for the radio digital conversion fund (Priority I grants).
Grow the Audience: Strengthening Local Journalism
- This Request for Proposals seeks proposals from groups of 3-6 stations willing to form multi-platform reporting Local Journalism Centers around a single topic or issue that will result in an elevated quality and quantity of journalism. The Local Journalism Centers should create compelling content and community engagement opportunities that include audio, video, text, photos, blogs, social networking, dynamic syndication, and mobile applications.
