Deadline: 16-Aug-22
The Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) is inviting applications for the Development & Operations Grants to support community media station resilience by strengthening governance, building community, sustainable operations and technical capacity.
The current objective for Development & Operations grants is to support community media organisations to be healthy, resilient and robust. In turn this will help create a stronger society based on greater participation, engagement and cohesion.
Areas
-
Your application must clearly demonstrate how the proposed activities address one or more of the areas:
- Governance – strategic planning, technology planning, developing open and transparent governance policies and procedures, recruiting and maintaining a governance team with diverse skills and experiences
- Sustainable operations – improving the financial sustainability, and/or reducing the environmental impact of community media
- Building community – engaging the diverse members of your community
Criteria
-
Any evidence that supports the claims in your application, either regarding information or finances, will help verify your grant request. This includes:
- Scanned documents such as recent bills, invoices, lease agreements and quotes.
- Supporting documentation for partnership arrangements such as letters of support or short video files expressing community support for a project proposal.
- Do you quote research or support for your project using data? Attach a copy to your application.
- Are you applying for studio infrastructure? Provide a diagram of your set-up – how many studios, the purpose of each (on-air, training, production). If you are applying for transmission infrastructure, provide a block diagram of your primary and secondary (translator) sites and methods used to link them, including backup systems.
- Attach documents in Microsoft Excel, Word and PDF format rather than msg or jpg. Please ensure you present multi-page documents as a single attachment, not separately loaded pages.
