OTTAWA – The Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) has announced a new round of funding for its Radiometres program which will provide $3 million to campus and community radio stations across the country.
Radiometres is a flexible program that is designed to improve local programming, offer better training, supervision and retention of volunteers, and increase community engagement.
Only one round of funding will take place this year, and all campus and community radio stations with a valid CRTC license are eligible. Applicants have until October 16, 2015 to submit their funding application, up to a maximum of $50,000 per individual application, or from $110,000 to $250,000 per joint application.
