CRFC to once again provide funding to campus and community radio
*Ottawa* - The Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) is pleased to launch
its second call for applications for Canada's campus and community radio
sector.
Contributions are available to the sector under two programs: the Radio
Talent Development
Program<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27&lang=en>and
the Youth
Internship Program<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27&lang=en>.
The goal of both programs is to develop innovative local interest
programming while providing mentorship, education, and or training for
broadcasters.
The deadline for each program is *March 19, 2010*. There is $80,000
available under each program, with a maximum $10,000 for each applicant. The
applications will be assessed in April by an independent jury. The final
results will be announced in mid-May. Guidelines and
forms<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30&Itemid=60&lang=en>are
available on the CRFC's website.
"The CRFC had a highly successful first year in running these two programs,"
says CRFC President Ian Pringle. "Last year we gave out nearly $160,000 to
the sector. The initiatives we funded were as diverse as the stations
themselves, but in all cases, the end result was that we helped the stations
better serve their communities."
Both of these programs are made possible by a financial partnership with
Astral Media Radio through a CRTC contribution mechanism totalling $1.4
million over seven years. "We appreciate this partnership with Astral Media.
The CRFC looks forward to working with other partners to help build a
stronger community media sector in Canada," says Pringle. As the CRFC is
certified as an eligible recipient of Canadian content development (CCD)
contributions, it is open to work with all of Canada's private broadcasters.

RT @mediamentor: Community Media Association 365 http://ow.ly/14TMX 2010 – a photo blog year in the life of community media - About http://ow.ly/14TOy
About
The Community Media Association (CMA) has started this photo blog for 2010 but we need your help. We would like you to send us photos of your community project that we will publish on "Community Media 365″. Every day in 2010 we will post to this blog an image relating to community media so that over the course of 2010 together we will build a rich visual picture of the community media sector.
All images are welcome – whether it's a picture of the stapler on your desk or a visit to your project by a campaigning politician; a photo of your staff team or the view from your window. Obviously the more photos we can get from you the better chance we have of this project succeeding. The CMA will also post the odd picture up so you will get a chance to see some of us at work.
Please send your photos to: photo365@commedia.org.uk
We can handle all digital photo file formats but sending jpegs will mean less work for us to convert them. We can also scale down pictures so hi-res photos are fine. When sending photos from a mobile phone try to set the highest resolution possible. Please ensure that all photos are suitable for publishing on the web in terms of rights clearance and privacy.
We will continue to make calls throughout the year for photos so just keep them coming. We hope to feature as wide a spread of your projects as possible but the more good photos that you send us the better the chances are of your organisation featuring several times.
So please start immediately and send your photos now to: photo365@commedia.org.uk
