Community Broadcasting Foundation

ABOUT US: The Community Broadcasting Foundation is an independent non-profit funding agency that seeks, secures and distributes funding to support the development, creativity and sustainability of community broadcasting in Australia. We have given away more than $200 million since our establishment in 1984, to secure the future of grass roots, local media. Community broadcasting involves participation in non-profit media which is committed to access, diversity, independence, localism, multiculturalism, and social justice. Our vision: community broadcasting is a thriving independent media sector for all Australian communities. MAKE YOUR MARK: You can make your mark on the community broadcasting sector as a whole too, by remembering the Community Broadcasting Foundation in your Will. By supporting us you are supporting over 450 stations across Australia. Rest assured that we will always use your gift in the way you want it to be used. Every gift, however large or small, makes a lasting and significant difference to improve the viability of community broadcasting now and into the future. COSTS: Our admin costs make up only around five percent of our running costs, which means more resources are directed to keeping the sector great. VOLUNTEERS: The Foundation is powered by a volunteer Board and a number of volunteer grant advisory committees and assessors. This reflects the 20,000+ volunteers Australia-wide that help make community radio and TV possible for the more than five million listeners each week.
