The first round for funding applications in 2008/09 opened on 10 April 2008 and closes on 07 May 2008. The Community Radio Fund Panel will meet to consider applications on Wednesday 18 June 2008.

Grants can only be made to community radio licensees who are broadcasting under a community radio licence (and not an RSL, for example). Eligible licensees must be broadcasting by the time the Panel meets to consider applications for the round applied for.

The latest application form and guidance notes are available below. Please also see statements detailing the outcome of previous Panel meetings.
