Community broadcasters can access grant funding from the CBF, an independent non-profit funding agency that seeks, secures and distributes funding to support the development, creativity and sustainability of community broadcasting in Australia. CBF funding assists community broadcasting organisations in urban, regional, rural and remote Australia to produce media by and for their communities.

Strategic Grants helps build your nonprofit’s capacity through their GEMS grants database, grant writing, grants training, grants workshops, program design and monitoring and evaluation frameworks and strategic planning for grants management success.
There is also a range of grants that stations can consider applying for to support their activities, that may be applicable to a community radio station and that would benefit the station and its community in some way. Although these grants may be perceived as falling outside of the station’s primary area of concern, the station may fulfil numerous other functions in the community and therefore be eligible for a wider range of grants than you may realise. Look at local council and state government grants.
For instance, the station may:
support local community development
promote health gains, mental health, etc
build capacity in the community, or in a sector of the community
work with a certain sector of the community for which there are grants
work to promote information about a certain risk or problem in the community

When you enter into a grant contract, you need to be very clear what your organisation is being asked to agree to. Obtaining a grant is the start of a whole process of accountability. The accountability process is usually based on a contract that spells out everything that needs to be done to ensure the success of the project or program for which your organisation has obtained a grant. The Funding Centre is an enterprise of Our Community and is an excellent source of information on grants and fundraising in Australia. Getting a Grant: Negotiating the Contract provides community broadcasters with an easy guide on how to navigate the administrative process of grant contracts.
