Grants for PEG and Community Stations
As funding for Municipal and Community Channels becomes more and more difficult to come by in Municipal budgets, stations have to be more creative in the ways they find funding. Some stations have been successful in finding grants to fund programming, operations and even capital equipment. This workshop will explore sources stations can explore for grants to supplement the funding they receive from their municipalities.
