Development & Operations Grants - Round 2 - 2024/25

 The objectives of Development & Operations grants are to support community media organisations to:

• Strengthen governance policies and practices that support longer term thinking
• Enhance capacity and capability that drives sustainability
• Increase resilience through preparations for unexpected change 
• Deepen engagement with identified communities  
• Expand partnerships to maximise opportunities
• Develop and embed inclusive and accessible practices

You are eligible to apply for a Development & Operations grant if you are:

• a recognised community media organisation (radio and TV)*
• a Remote Indigenous Media Organisation or Remote Indigenous Broadcasting Service

You can submit one Development & Operations grant application. There is no limit to how much you can apply for. The more funding you request, the greater detail assessors will expect in your responses.

All applications will be competitively assessed and may be funded in full, in part or not at all based on the merits of the application and the demand for funding in any given grant round. Where appropriate we will fully fund an application that is highly ranked.
