Community Radio Fund 2024-25 open for applications
Posted: 5th November 2024
Ofcom has opened applications for eligible stations to apply for awards from the second round of the Community Radio Fund 2024/25 worth over £400k this financial year.
The Community Radio Fund, which is allocated by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, is managed by Ofcom and the total amount available over the course of 2024/25 is £411,759.
In the last round the grants awarded ranged from £4,320 up to £33,854. The grants can be used to support core costs of running Ofcom-licenced community radio stations including station management, administration, community outreach and fundraising.
Grants can only be made to Ofcom-licensed community radio stations in the UK, broadcasting on AM, FM, or via a Community Digital Sound Programme licence on a digital radio multiplex.
Applications will close at 5pm on Sunday 8th December 2024. It's expected that the Community Radio Fund Panel will meet in early February 2025 to consider the applications received.
