Public Radio Exchange Pulls in Major Grants

PRX Raises $2.7 Million from Corporation for Public Broadcasting, MacArthur Foundation, and Ford Foundation

The grants include funding from:

• The Corporation for Public Broadcasting - $1.5million
• The Ford Foundation - $900k
• The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation - $300k

When I was PD and Director of Radio at CPBN, the content from PRX allowed us to present voices and ideas not necessarily available through NPR, PRI and APM.

It helped broaden the context of the issues and ideas that affected the communities we served. It was also a way for our producers to get added exposure for the work they were producing.
