APTS Grant Center Funding Newsletter-December 2010
December 22, 2010
The APTS Grant Center, an 18-month long project funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, connects public television and radio stations with funding opportunities. The APTS Grant Center is the only free resource available to public television and radio stations that provides pre-screened funding sources, related news and resources relevant to public broadcasting stations.
DEI, public radio’s fundraising and marketing service organization, is our partner on the APTS Grant Center. They provide intelligence on private funding, including custom prospect research for all public broadcasting stations. To make a request, click here.
Visit the APTS Grant Center website often, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our RSS Feed to be informed of real-time funding news and opportunities.
Last week, you should have received a survey about the APTS Grant Center. APTS and DEI are working with Brighter Strategies LLC, an independent firm, to evaluate the CPB-funded APTS Grant Center. Your participation in this anonymous survey is vital to the success and future of the APTS Grant Center. Please complete it as soon as possible, if you have not done so already. If your station did not receive a link to the survey in an email, please contact the APTS Grant Center.
