<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Abstract</div><div><br></div><div>This article is intended as a resource for community broadcasters and researchers. It draws on interviews and discussion with community broadcasters and activists to identify practical examples of funding methods. The seven common methods of funding a community station are detailed. These are: support from the station's own community; patronage from a larger organisation; commercial advertising and sponsorship; competitive grants; service contracts; support by NGOs; support by governmental agencies. The article points to resources where the reader can discover more fully how each funding method is used, and concludes that a prudent station may use several methods to help ensure economic sustainability.</div></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.cbaa.org.au/article/how-community-broadcasting-funded-%E2%80%93-useful-resource-community-broadcasters">https://www.cbaa.org.au/article/how-community-broadcasting-funded-%E2%80%93-useful-resource-community-broadcasters</a><br></div><div><br></div>Janey Gordon, 31st May 2016<div><br></div><div>\\</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Community Media Association</div><div>-- <br><a href="http://www.commedia.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.commedia.org.uk/</a><br><a href="http://twitter.com/community_media" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/community_media</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/CommunityMediaAssociation</a><br><br>Canstream Internet Radio & Video<br><a href="http://www.canstream.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.canstream.co.uk/</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/canstream" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/canstream</a></div><div><br></div><div><b style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><font size="4" color="#0000ff">Book your tickets now for the Community Media Conference 2016: <a href="http://bit.ly/2016CMAConf" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2016CMAConf</a></font></b><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
