Australia’s only ethical, green, coal-free superannuation company, Australian Ethical, is calling for all not-for-profit organisations and community projects to apply for their Community Grants before they close on 1st July.

The Grants will see over $100,000 made available to Australian not-for-profit organisations and community projects.

Australian Ethical donates 10% of their annual profit every year through the grants program which is one of the highest percentage in corporate giving in Australia.

Since the inception of the program 12 years ago, over $1.3 million in funding has been provided to community organisations at the forefront of the sustainability and social justice sector.

Australian Community Radio: Funding Challenges and Dilemmas

Abstract
The largest pressure faced by community radio stations is financial. Stations constantly face the reality of how to ensure an adequate operating income in an increasingly competitive mediascape. Van Vuuren (2006c) argues that the extent of the contribution of community media to media democracy in Australia depends largely on how the sector manages commercial pressures. There is a need to ensure more financial stability to allow stations to focus on their primary community-orientated and participatory goals.

Community Media and Ethical Choice

Abstract
The internet provides a means for non-professional media-makers to produce and publish their own video and audio content, as community television and radio have done for several decades. While the web seems to exemplify the principles of media access and diversity championed by the community media sector, it also raises challenges for broadcast community media participants and their online equivalents, not least being the co-opting of the term ‘community media’ by large commercial interests. A symposium held in Melbourne by Open Spectrum Australia (‘Quality/Control’, State Library of Victoria, Oct 2008) brought together people with a wide range of community media experience to discuss this and other issues, particularly the possibilities for greater cooperation between broadcast and online community media participants.

This paper draws on participant contributions at the symposium to explore the relationship between broadcast and online community media. Despite shared values, we identify different, and possibly incompatible, cultures within the two groups. We argue that this disjoint stems from two different systems of control or validation (licensing and networks), as well as producer-centered accounts of community media that are out of sync with the contemporary media environment. Instead, we propose that theory and practice begin to address issues of consumption in relation to community media, including identification, navigation and the notion of ethical choice.
