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.
